Ingredients
- Momo dough, rested300 g
- Sweet corn kernels1 cup
- Grated mozzarella1 cup
- Spring onion greens1/4 cup
- Black pepper and oregano1 tsp
- Oil for brushing2 tsp
Method
Lightly crush the corn
Pulse half the corn kernels just once or twice so the filling binds while keeping plenty of whole kernels for texture. Stir in the remaining whole corn, spring onion, pepper and oregano.
Fold in cheese last
Mix the grated mozzarella into the cooled corn right before filling so it does not clump or sweat. Keep the bowl chilled to make the sticky mix easier to handle.
Wrap securely
Roll thin rounds and spoon the corn-cheese into the centre, then gather the edges into a tight purse shape. Pinch the top very firmly because melting cheese pushes hard against the seam.
Coat and rest
Brush the momos with oil and a light water mist, then rest them five minutes so the dough relaxes. This prevents bursting once the cheese liquefies.
Air-fry to oozy
Arrange spaced apart and air-fry at 180C for 13 minutes, turning once midway. They are ready when the skins are golden-flecked and cheese just begins to peek at the seams.
