                                          How To Make Momo Shape

Dumplings are a delicious Asian dish, made by filling thin sheets of dough with meat or veggies. There are a lot of ways to wrap dumplings, but 2 of the most popular shapes are the pleated crescent and the purse. Try them for yourself at home using store-bought dumpling wrappers or making your own dough with flour, water, and salt. Now step away from the takeout menu and into the kitchen,

           Ingredients  For Homemade Dumpling Wrappers

•    2 cups (256 g) of all-purpose flour
•     1/2 teaspoon (2.8 g) of salt
•     3⁄4 cup (180 ml) of boiling water

    1. 

Place 1 tbsp (14 g) of filling in the center of a round dumpling wrapper. Use a spoon to scoop out the filling of your choice. Pile it as close to the middle of the circular wrapper as possible.

         You can use any type of filling you’d like, such as pork or veggie,


    Tip: For this particular shape, it helps to shape your filling in an oval, rather than a circle, to        .
            make   it easier to fold the crescent.
 2.

Brush water around the entire outer edge of the wrapper. Dip a pastry brush in water, then run it around the outside edge of the wrapper. This moistens the edge so it sticks together better and the dumpling won’t fall apart,

3.
 If you don’t have a pastry brush, use your finger dipped in water instead.
    Use enough water so that the edge is moist but not completely saturated. If it’s too soggy, the wrapper will rip,

 Fold one side of the wrapper over onto the other side. Line up the edges as you fold the dumpling wrapper in half over the filling. Make sure the edges are perfectly aligned and that one edge isn’t hanging over the other. This creates a half moon shape,

    Don’t pull too hard on the wrapper or you’ll tear it. If you’re having trouble folding it over, you might need to remove some of the filling,

 4.
 Make pleats along the joined edges of the wrapper to seal it. Start at one corner of the open side of the wrapper. To make the pleats, fold tiny sections of the dough over onto itself as you pinch the 2 edges together. This creates an effect that looks like a folded fan. Continue the pleating and pinching until the entire open side is sealed,

    Pinch the dough tightly as you work your way around the edge so that none of the filling falls out when you cook the dumplings.
    You can make your pleats as big or as small as you’d like them,

  Seal each of the 2 remaining open edges by pinching the dough together. Find the 2 edges that form a "Y" shape with your original fold. Pinch the edges together on each open side, just like you did on your first fold, so that the dumpling is sealed in a triangle shape with a point at the center.

    If the edges pop open, pinch them more firmly or brush a little more water onto them to help them stay sealed.
