I first learnt how to make momo after watching my Nepalese chef mates cook them time and time again in Melbourne, so I’m sharing this delicious food with you. Please enjoy my chicken and vegetable momo recipes, served with a side of tomato chutney.

Here in Nepal, at a lot of local momo places, they add roasted peanuts to the sauce. It makes the sauce taste nice and creamy.
or/and sesame seeds
Oh yeah, that makes it a whole lot better
Also, the tomatoes are usually burnt over the fire to a moderate char on the outside and then chopped and blitzed for the sauce. Takes the taste to a whole different level of YUMMM!.
and roasted soybeans
Nothing about achar is creamy 🤣🤣🤣
Was lucky enough to visit Nepal a few years back. Spent the entire time eating momo. Its the greatest food known to man.
It's so good!
@@andy_cooksyup!!
@andy_cooks Also agree, when I was in Nepal the one side fried with cheese and spinach were always my favourites! Steaming the momo I never found I enjoyed the texture as much!
your right 😊
@@tomasibarguen-burrows3265 one sided fried mo:mo are called Kothey mo:mo
As a Nepali,It's feels good to hear momo instead of momos 😊❤ and yes, soy sauce or sugar is not used in momo but still it it looks very mouth watering 😋🤤❤
Indeed
Soy sauce if fine but sugar in nepalese cooking is big no no
why? what's wrong with saying momos? Isn't that just the plural form
Momo is not English word to put ‘s' to make it plural
@@meowmeowmio13 absolutely ❤️👍️
Momo got super popular all over India now. Honestly, Nepali food is underrated. You should explore some of it, along with North East Indian cuisine. It's actually very interesting 😊
That's not nepali food it's Tibetan food I live in Uttarakhand and I have Tibetan friend I eat many Tibetan delicious in his home
@@manankukreti8906en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Momo_(food)
@@manankukreti8906Momo was a food introduced by newari nepalese to tibetan and chinese people
get your facts straight 💀
bhai nepal me bana h momo and instead of hating it, we should appreciate nepali cuisine
as an Indian, I love nepali cuisine
@@Shibu_069 Nepalese invented and introduced Momos to the chinese , tibetans, mongols and russians and everyone. everything is nepali ...
It's a TIBETAN food not Nepal.
You cant fake the kind of food enjoyment that gives you hiccups. Thanks for keeping it real with us as always Andy, and have a great 2024!
I liked one of his hiccups that sounded like a duck. Gave me a good laugh.
I'm so glad he kept them in the edit.
I get that a lot when its 🌶️
Ajinomoto is a very popular Japanese brand that makes MSG -- I suspect that's the one that begins with "a" that you're thinking of. for some reason, that's the brand I always get but you're right, MSG is the major ingredient in most Asian chicken stock powders and other things, too. I finally made friends with MSG a few years ago (my reasoning was that if it gets me to eat more green veggies, it's a benefit) and I LOVE it.
"gyoza" is the Japanese pronunciation of Chinese 餃子, a.k.a. jiaozi, the OG Chinese dumpling.
those hiccups made for a fun surprise ending!
Another one he could also be talking about "Accent" which is a MSG sold in stores in the US.
Or just ask Uncle Roger. 😀
i was thinking asafoetida, the south asian version of MSG
I’ve seen people in India use ajinomoto to refer to MSG in general. So it might be the one.
There's also Knorr Aromat but that isn't just MSG.
Looks good chef! Strictly speaking only for Nepali momo, soy sauce is not used at all in both the filling or the dipping sauce (achar). No vinegar or sugar in the sauce either! We tend to use lemon/ lime strictly. Fresh Coriander, toasted sesame seeds, Nepali Szechuan pepper are all good additions to the sauce to make it more Nepali (and more tasty 😉)
true
The most authentic spice used in achhar is "heeng" Asafoetida and "Timur"!!
@@sjnmhn what the fuck is a heeng? I dont think it's authentic Nepali. Timur is Nepali for sure.
@@newnepal2072 Not at all.. Its a indian thing.
@@royalegamer4689 exactly, I've never heard of heeng in Nepal.
In Nepal, we just roll the entire dough into a large sheet and then use the rims of a steel cup to just cut the dough into perfect circles and also each piece of momo has the same thickness of the skin. Also thanks Andy for showing the world this greatly underrated dish!
I was thinking about what made "Andy Cooks" such a success. I think it's because Andy, Bae, and his team are so approachable so we don't hesitate to invite them into our homes. Congratulations on your success, Andy and team.
Well said.
He's a Kiwi. We are a self deprecating, humble lot mostly. Underlying a lot of conversations is a sardonic, sometimes twisted (in a good way) humour. We don't take ourselves too seriously! Come visit soon
Agreed.....and they come across as authentic. I feel I know them😊
So many foodtubers think they need to be edgy with flashy moves, flinging ingredients and lids around and it's so fast you don't know what they're doing especially as they don't list ingredients let alone full recipes. I hate them all.
Andy ... just cooks. The only modern bit is some of the smash cuts in the shorts. And those are fun because frankly, I don't need to see an onion getting chopped from beginning to end over and over again.
It’s momo . Tibetan food not Nepali food .. momo is Tibetan language. No doubt.
Momos, Tingmo, Datshi, Laphings are my absolute favourites. I would really like to thank my Nepalese, Bhutanese, Tibetan mates for introducing us to this amazing food. - An Indian.
MO:MO
@@lightyagamis okay, my bad!
@@lightyagamis but please take a chill pill.
@@Bickeringbird19200never call it momos because its momo (MO:MO) not momos and as a Nepali I hate momo being called momos. Btw no hate to any country or any groups of people (Jay humanity)
I'm a Nepali 😅 I never was offended when it was called momos. 😅@@WiperPUBGM
Omg Andy represented Nepali cuisine 🤧❤️
I'm so honoured 🙏
Nepalese momo is a rockstar in the dumplings game. In Nepal the authentic momo filling is made of juicy Buffalo meat (other fillings are pork, lamb, chicken, or veggies) and the ingredients used (for either filling or sauce in no particular order) are Szechuan peppercorns, Nepalese hog plums, green onions, coriander, ground cumin, roasted peanuts, and roasted sesame etc which are authentic to Nepalese region and I think is what elevates Nepalese momo from all other dumplings. The flavors in the Nepalese momo sauce are bowl licking scrumptious. Great video Andy! If you ever get a chance to go to Nepal I would urge you to try all the different Buff dishes that's available along with Buff Momo. They're a delicacy in the country.
Edit: Just wanted to add that those are not at all authentic Nepalese momo but you can always improve. Start with not cooking the fillings before wrapping as they're supposed to be finely chopped and steamed that retains the juices and freshness. Try using proper ingredients in the sauce as well to get closer to the authentic taste.
Buffalo meat???...
@@akankshaarya9373yes meat of water buffalo
i am nepali and it is the most eaten food of nepal and love from nepal❤❤❤❤❤🎉🎉🎉🎉
Nepal momos are the best!
Thanks legend!
More than Dahl baht???
@@riddlemethis79of course
@@andy_cooksandy you should try c momo and other nepali foods and thanks for cooking momo
Hey Andy, thanks for featuring Nepalese cuisine!🇳🇵🇳🇵 Your momo-making is impressive, especially with our favorite dish. Enhance the sauce with ground roasted sesame seeds, peanuts, and white soybeans for authenticity. Momos' wrapping techniques vary with filling, offering visual cues to ingredients. Try buffalo momo-it's my favorite! Hoping for more Nepalese cuisine in future videos.
Take it positively! ❤ Stay safe, focused, and happy!
Correction: Tibetan cuisine not Nepali, thanks!
@@Mountainbredtibetan Tibetan for sure! But I guess in this sense you could compare momo to pizza, as people have adapted it to suit their own taste and of their ethnic background- the Lebanese pizza for example. That is not to discount that the authentic original momo is from Tibet :) but the version that has been adapted to the Nepali flavour profile and its popularity in Nepal means it has also become part of Nepali cuisine.
ITS CHINESE@@Mountainbredtibetan
@@Mountainbredtibetandoes the tibetian language has any word called momo?
This is a cuisine from Tibetan province of china
My brother-in-law is from Tibet and making momo with him and my sister's family is the best! He tends to use beef mince and they are steamed over a broth made with beef bones. It's great fun shaping the momo as a family, seeing who has the neatest techniques and who has the most artful shapes (and who is completely useless at this!). I think the first style you made is what my bro-in-law calls "money bags".
damn. sounds yum af
Yum
Yes momo taste better with beef or buff not with chicken 😊
Nah beef is not used a lot of the time
most Nepalese don't eat beef.
I love how authentic you are, in your cooking and your personality as a whole. Keep up the brilliant work, Chef 🤝
One tip I learned from a Nepalese chef. That I personally hold in high regard. Roll the whole dough out as thick or thin as needed. And use a scone ( could be called a cookie cutter ) cutter, bigger than needed ( allowing for shrinkage ). This way, it mitigates shrinkage. His momos were absolutely delicious, either steamed or fried.
I’ve never thanked someone for a commercial but your description of the Made-In cookware is helpful to understand what I should look for in buying pots and pans. Thank you.
Much love Andy! ❤ Great tutor vid on making the dough and the technique on the folding process. Gonna make these at home soon!
Love momo! First had it last year at a Nepalese restaurant near a convention I went to. Every bar/pizza joint in a 5 block radius was packed because of the con, but the Nepalese place was easy to get into. It was so tasty and much better than the random bar food I could get at any time that we went back the next night, too!
Mate. You're teaching me some new recipes to make for my family and entertaining with the fun and spontaneity of your videos. Legend. thanks
Msg is called 'Ajinomoto'. Also would add roasted peanuts on the sauce, it makes it 10x better. Love the video. Lots of love from Nepal ❤❤
Ajinomto khaas ma Japanese brand name ho bro.So Hamile Ajinomoto vanney chij nai Msg ho.
Ajinomoto is japanese company name
Am I the only one who don't like peanut in Achar ?
@@namkhanngajato3911peanut flavor is delicious in the sauce a lot of people love it I do too
New kitchen is amazing - congrats on all the success. You folks deserve it. Thanks for such great content
Your new kitchen looks great. I love watching you cook so many different foods. Thanks.
The momos I had from a Nepalese place in Melbourne is the best I ever had. I still feel the warmth of their chicken momos soup. I keep trying momos anywhere I go in the UK, but never found anything close.
MO:MO
If you add last words in pastas,not suitable words...just say momo not momos..
Hello Andy, my fiancé and I are big fans of your cooking show. When we watched the episode featuring a dish I prepare and enjoy nearly every day, I couldn't resist sharing our appreciation. If you ever find yourself back in Sydney, I'd love to cook Nepalese momo for you to try! 😊
Andy- I've really been enjoying your videos with the recipes and chill vibes. Congrats on the sweet setup, you should be proud of it! Looks great!
Love the kitchen studio! Here's to another wonderful year! ✨️
Awesome new kitchen area! You deserve it with all the amazing dishes you cook. Love watching you cook! I wish I could taste the food!!!❤❤❤
Thank you for calling it MO:MO and addressing it. Love your videos❤
The new studio is stunning Andy, what a joy that must be I am so happy for you.
My favorite cooking channel and it get's better every time. Lovely new kitchen! Have a great year!! Cheers!
Love the new set bro ❤ you guys are killing it
I lived in Nepal when I was a kid for I believe 2 years. My favourite nepalese food is momo. The school I went to served chicken and buffalo meat momos on Mondays. I wish I could go back and have a bite of it again
Habibi where are you from if you are Indian then you can visit anytime ❤❤❤
Tell you what the feeds you make and the way you make them like; literally anyone can make them but the way you do it; it`s straight forward and enjoyable to watch and learn; That`s why people love your channel mate.
Setup looks great, congratulations!
had Momo's while on a trip to Northern India, absolutely loved them, so i'm very excited to try these!
Congrats on your success! I liked the vids from your (home?) kitchen around Xmas too-seemed authentic. Thanks for your content!
Wow the new kitchen studio looks sick mate! Congratulations
Thanks legend
The video quality is incredible. Great new setup Chef
Thanks Andy! Looks SOOOO YUMMY :D
Blending the sauce with roasted peanuts, roasted sesame seeds and nepalese hog plums (we call it Lapsi) takes it to a whole different level.
The vinegar gives you the little extra moisture to work the dough easier, but evaporates off easier than water so you get a lighter flakier dough. You can also use vodka.
The pH remains lower and there is very little alcohol in it. Vinegar probably does something to the protein.
thank u andy another fantastic vid and congrats on new kitchen!
Beautiful new set Andy and co.!
For the red chutney, I also use red bell pepper and avoid the sugar. It gets amazing red color and tastes better. Anyways, we can also use red chillies but I want even my kids to savor the dish...
Love the last part...hiccups😂
Lovely recipe for CNY small gathering. Thank you Chef Andy
Absolutely love this!
Momo's one of my favorites... the sauce that the chef made complements the momos well... honestly one must try
You’re a legend leaving the hiccups in 😂 and the kitchen looks awesome!
The way you wrapped momo
As a Nepali you did amazing authentic way ❤❤
Thank you for making our food ☺️
I love the new kitchen. Well deserved Chef.
Congrats on the kitchen! Looks lovely mate 🎉
Awesome…Momos are very popular in our country Bhutan as well. Good to see the food of our culture being shared. Thank Andy for wonderful video. Cheers!
Momo
Nepali momo
Btw momo is originally from Tibet
Just say momo not. Momos...if add pastas in last words s ...
Everyone chill maybe he just saying momos because there are many different types of momo like beef momo, chicken momo, veg momo, cheese momo and Alu momo
I am even a bigger fan of Andy Now. Welcome to the exciting world of taste Andy. Your Nepali fan!!!
Congratulations on your beautiful new kitchen. Oh my goodness, looks so delicious!!!
I’m making these for a new coffee shop start up I’m doing , so thanks for the recipe , looking forward to giving it a try
had Momo for the first time a mobth ago at a Nepalese restaurant here in the City... amazing, I can see why they are very very Popular!!!
Andy should try growing chillies. Its easy and you can pluck em fresh and use.
Tried and they turned out delicious! Perfect nepalese style. Thanks Andy!
Yo, Chef, thanks for the great content and awesome recipes! Love you all!!
Love these. In Nepal buff momo are famous. I would like to see if beef momo would taste good. We also have different types of sauces. Some use sesame, some peanut or soybean. Maybe you can try those too.
@vineetmanshingh do you live in delhi?
Andy, you're a legend for making momo! Much love ❤ 🇳🇵
The new kitchen is amazing chef !!
Beautiful new kitchen! Many great meals to come 😊
The momo's looked delicious. ❤
Are you indian?
We Indians have adopted it as a street food😂 love to Nepal for this awesome dish❤
Edit : stop fighting in the comments ffs. The Indian version of momo is amazing, you just have to try it from the right place.
The indian version of momo is just not ok... they just made it into stuffed curry balls... leave momos to the nepalese you dont need to adopt and add curry powder to everything
@@Gigi-ni1cf Where have u eaten curry stuffed momos. Momos sold on streets are basic as they r sold in Nepal. There r versions of it that Indians have developed like Afghani momos or tandoori momos but they r niche recipes only sold in some restaurants. Momos sold largely as street food are close to authentic.
Thanks to Nepal? You forgot that our own states of Sikkim and Ladakh have momos.
I dont care what you do with dish, how you make or whatever but please stop calling it Momos. It is “mo mo”. मो मो. Not मो मोs.
@@Lolking9 I'd still call them Momos! The dish isn't yours only.
Can we get a full kitchen tour, please? Maybe not much to see, but I like the behind-the-scenes stuff.
Check out their Back of House Channel, has a couple vids showing the new kitchen.
Congrats on that amazing kitchen chef Andy 🎉❤
Learn so much every time I watch ,thanks 🇨🇦
The man who cooks for his wife, is the man with the soft soul...Your efforts and humbleness brought you here bro...I appreciate your love towards Indian cuisine as i have seen some of them in shorts....Congratulations & enjoy your making in a new kitchen....Love from BHARAT (INDIA) 🇮🇳🙏🙏
Excuse me brother, Idk if you're saying Indian cuisine in general after watching his other videos or this one specifically but if you're saying momo Indian cuisine then you need to do some research okay. Momo are Nepali cuisine not Indian.
@@junior999yt9 I know bro its a tibetian and nepalese cuisine....but whatever i said above is not meant with the momos but for the Indian cuisine he tried in his latter videos...Take it easy bro..
@@ashishdhimanofficialI'm not taking it seriously just trying to clarify myself if it meant for this video.
I knew a real Tibetan woman and she made Momos for us from minced meat, onions, salt, pepper and sellery. They were wrapped in wheat dough like yours. She simply put them into the soup. They eat that soup on several days to great the new year and drink beer (chang). Your hickup at the end…😂
Great video Andy.First time watching you and it was Really Chill. Loved your lil bits of humour. Keep it up man
As an apprentice chef in Aus, I must say I appreciate and love all your content as I am continually learning lots from it.
Thankyou Chef and the team.
FUCKING Finally. I always figured you would know how to make these as there's a huge Nepalese population in Australia. Glad to know my request is fulfilled with this one. And YES! they are the best variation of dumplings anywhere.
Momo looks good! Tibetan food definitely left its mark in nepal, india and now Asia.
Congratulations on the new kitchen!!
Congratulations on your new kitchen! I hope it serves you well.😊
Thank You 🙏🏻 finally after thousands of requests, you made a Nepali 🇳🇵dish called momo ❤ loads and loads of love ❤️and support and again appreciate you for being such a respectful towards our culture 🙏🏻
Wow Thanks Chef for Cooking Momo
It’s One of our day to day Tibetan Cuisine.
Next time try making ShayFaley.
Kitchen and dumplings looking fab!
I love that Andy's so honest, food is "Amazeballs🎉🎉🎉🎉!"
Andy and momos never disappoint us ❤
I’m Nepali and I make momos every now and thn. Uncle Andy you made all our Nepalese ancestors cry by adding vinegar, soya sauce and brown sugar.. brown sugar ? 😩😭😭
You just called it 'momoS'. Tf?
@@Aaksa yes In our language we call it momo, momos
I have a momo shop 20 min from my house somehow. Absolutely love them.
Super chef!! My friend from Nepal would stream the momos not on top of water but beef broth with the bones in. Yumm!! Chef’s kiss!!!
Andy, thanks for covering momos! I have introduced momos to so many of my friends here in the US and it’s hands down their favorite Nepali food. Momo is life, literally. Lots of love 🇳🇵
It's awesome that you're promoting Nepali dishes! 🇳🇵 Besides momo, you should try dry and soup laping and sel roti etc. They're delicious too.....!
momo originated in Tibet and was introduced to Nepal by Tibetan immigrants who settled in the Kathmandu Valley. Over time, momos have become an integral part of Nepalese cuisine and culture, particularly in the Kathmandu Valley and now across Asia. Nepalese foods are so underrated. 👍
It's called a "thumb sized" piece of ginger because a whole ginger root looks a bit like a hand and each spur is called a finger. A thumb size bit means a larger finger. And a finger size bit means a normal spur.
Nepalese dumplings(momo) are treated with high regard here in India. They are just too good.
Momo originates from Tibet. It was introduced to Nepal and India by the exile tibetan population as well as early tibetan traders.
@@pinkymoon5039 You have you chinese dimsum or Bao whaterver. its a different dumpling with different spices and meat is also different. Tibiteam Dumpling is different then momo. Mo Mo is Nepali(Newari) and we people love it.
i know you guys have habit of stealing stuff from Nepal like our Buddha. In few years I guarantee that you guys will say Lordh
Buddha was from Tibet.
@@pinkymoon5039by ur logic it’s not even Tibetan, it’s rather Chinese dish. Refugees brought tibetan style dumpling, but nepali flavoured momo were made by newar since centuries.
@@khom3940 one thing you can count on is for nepalese to claim tibetan food as their own 😜🤣
@@Lolking9 lol. So delusional. Just rewind 3 to 5 generations back in your family and I bet no one ate momo. Momo is tibetan and even your nepali ethnologist admit to it.
Love the new kitchen! The momo’s look yum! But I’m with Mitch on the heat level. 😬
My mouth started watering at the end! Momo are heaven.
Good for you on the new kitchen, you deserve it, Keep it up,
Awesome work Andy. New studio looks littt
🇳🇵
Thank you for presenting the MOMO Chef. Andy. Always my favourite food!!
That's a spotless kitchen chef !!! ...
Congrats on the new kitchen, it’s cool
Like the new studio/kitchen. Love the dumplings of course.
You are simply awesome and your receipes are superb 😊
Fantastic skills n presentation!
Love the kitchen!!
