Ingredients
- momo wrappers12
- cabbage1 cup finely chopped
- carrot1/2 cup grated
- garlic2 cloves minced
- spring onion2 stalks chopped
- oil2 tbsp
Method
Make the filling
Mix the cabbage, carrot, garlic and spring onion in a bowl and season with salt and pepper. Chop everything small and fine so the filling packs tightly and cooks through in the short time the momos are in the basket.
Fill the wrappers
Place a spoonful of filling in the centre of each wrapper, then gather the edges and pinch them firmly to seal into a pouch. A tight seal keeps the filling in and stops the wrapper bursting open as it crisps.
Brush with oil
Brush each momo lightly all over with oil. A thin, even film is what turns the pale, steamed-style wrapper golden and crisp in the air fryer, and it stops the dough drying out and cracking.
Air fry until crisp
Arrange the momos in the basket without touching so air flows around each one. Air fry at 190°C for 12 min, turning halfway, until the wrappers are golden and crisp all over.
