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
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.
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 😉)
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’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.
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!
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.
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.
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.
@@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)
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!
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!
@@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.
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.
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".
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! 😊
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.
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...
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
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.
I worked for years with Nepali folk, and one of the girls - damn she made the BEST momos ever. the tomato dipping sauce was unrepeatable!..... Momos utkr̥ṣṭa thi'ē.....Namaste!
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. 👍
For making the momo wrapper, what we used to do was to use more dough and make a large thin roti kind of and just use any steel cup to cut the dough. its much more easy and efficient to make momo.
Great video as always. Just 2 things, the chutney needs "Timru" which is a kind of Sichuan pepper adjacent. It gives a different kind of heat. & when steaming, you add the vegetable offcuts/Meat bones to make a stock with some seasonings of your choice. Free soup & the momos taste better.
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!
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
We usually cook the veggies while steaming and that's for the last part because we like to season the veggies and let it soften while we make the dough and shape it

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.
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 🙏🏻
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.
I love MSG. I keep it next to my stove and use it in a lot of things, not just Asian foods. When I taste something and it’s not quite right, but the seasoning is, I add a pinch of MSG and it transforms the dish; it’s particularly good in gravy.
I was so excited when I saw the title. I always watch ur videos in tik tok and i LOVE them. Thank you for cooking every Nepali's favorite dish. Its an honour. We don't add green chilli (may be chilli powder) because you can always make spicy chutney :) . BTW I use the same recipe for my chutney too like EXACTLY SAME. Thank you again.
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…😂
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 🇳🇵
Chef Andy, I for one love your kitchen, I’m jealous, but good for you, and cheers to your success. Love watching you cook, fun and interesting, and your meals look delicious.
Love the new kitchen! You should consider raising the camera just a bit, so you don't catch the LEDs under the shelves in the bagground! Happy new year!
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.
Love thw new srudio kitchen and canmot het wnoigh of watching the master Andy cooking up a storm and enjoying the fruits of laboour, what an awesome down to earth talwnted guy he is
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 ? 😩😭😭
There is a take away momo shop near where I live, and they are amazing. Made using fresh, quality ingredients, freshly steamed to order, they taste so good. I get them at least once a week.
My wife and I make these once a month. She is from Nepal and a Newari. I went out there and learned the masala mixtures and achairs. I love it. So tasty!
you are correct sir! They are delicious! I have learned how to make them and can't get enough, especially making C-Momos afterwards oooooooo @@SurenBhandari32

@@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.
@@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.
I love momos; they always remind me of home. The way my mom cooks them is so comforting. The popular one is buffalo momo, from where I am in Kathmandu. I always love the way you cook. Thank you, Andy, for reminding me of my country, Nepal 🇳🇵. I've been in Australia for 6 years now.
Mate try this sauce. This would be more authentic and way better with momo as well. Sautee some red onions/shallots, ginger and garlic in some oil (preferably mustard). Add tomatoes and sautee them as well. Add a bit of momo masala ( cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, turmeric, chilly pepper, cardamom) and msg. Fry till liquid of tomatoes has evaporated. Blend it with some roasted peanuts. (Add water as necessary) Adust with lime and salt as necessary. Ground up some black sesame seeds and mix with the sauce. Enjoy!!!
being a student momo is one of the most affordable and yummy food you can get....we eat momo when we're stressed when we are happy when we're hungry when we meet our friends and family ...we make it together at family gatherings ....it's not only a delicious food item but an emotion at this point....we Nepalese love momo ❤
Changing or adjusting the ph level of the flour mixture rapidly strengthens the gluten structure. The two proteins, glutenen and gliaden react to moisture, salt, acid and alkaline in different ways. Moisture/hydration is necessary for gluten to start networking, but the following is how you manipulate strengths and weaknesses; salt and small amounts of acid assists hydration, sugar competes for hydration, fat inhibits hydration. The only exception is alkaline noodles. Postassium salts or baked baking powder create an insanely high ph (11-12 i think) and are necessary to make ramen noodles. It also turns the noodles (and dumpling noodle squares) yellow, which is what makes a lot of people think they are egg noodles. They aren't; they are flour, water and alkaline salts to make the noodles as strong and 'bouncy' as possible.
A simple sauce would be to soak some dried hot chillies in vinegar, and blend it with roasted peanuts & some garlic, discard the seed & most of the vinegar if you want to cut out the heat.
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 🤣🤣🤣
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

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’ve seen people in India use ajinomoto to refer to MSG in general. So it might be the one.

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 🙏🏻
I have a momo shop 20 min from my house somehow. Absolutely love them.
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.
I love MSG. I keep it next to my stove and use it in a lot of things, not just Asian foods. When I taste something and it’s not quite right, but the seasoning is, I add a pinch of MSG and it transforms the dish; it’s particularly good in gravy.
Andy, you're a legend for making momo! Much love ❤ 🇳🇵
I was so excited when I saw the title. I always watch ur videos in tik tok and i LOVE them.
Thank you for cooking every Nepali's favorite dish. Its an honour. We don't add green chilli (may be chilli powder) because you can always make spicy chutney :) . BTW I use the same recipe for my chutney too like EXACTLY SAME. Thank you again.
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…😂
New kitchen is amazing - congrats on all the success. You folks deserve it. Thanks for such great content
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 🇳🇵
Chef Andy, I for one love your kitchen, I’m jealous, but good for you, and cheers to your success.
Love watching you cook, fun and interesting, and your meals look delicious.
Wow Thanks Chef for Cooking Momo
It’s One of our day to day Tibetan Cuisine.
Next time try making ShayFaley.
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!
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.....!
Love the new kitchen! You should consider raising the camera just a bit, so you don't catch the LEDs under the shelves in the bagground!
Happy new year!
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.
Love thw new srudio kitchen and canmot het wnoigh of watching the master Andy cooking up a storm and enjoying the fruits of laboour, what an awesome down to earth talwnted guy he is
Momo looks good! Tibetan food definitely left its mark in nepal, india and now Asia.
Also if you can’t get hold of the precut and perforated papers you can use a hole punch on your folded cartouche. Works a treat.
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
There is a take away momo shop near where I live, and they are amazing. Made using fresh, quality ingredients, freshly steamed to order, they taste so good. I get them at least once a week.
We Nepalese only care about three things: Mount Everest, Gautam Buddha and the correct pronunciation of momo.
😂
The new studio is stunning Andy, what a joy that must be I am so happy for you.
Andy and momos never disappoint us ❤
My wife and I make these once a month. She is from Nepal and a Newari. I went out there and learned the masala mixtures and achairs. I love it. So tasty!
your wife is Newari? I bet her momo is real delicious and as close to authentic as you can get outside Nepal, you are one lucky man!
you are correct sir! They are delicious! I have learned how to make them and can't get enough, especially making C-Momos afterwards oooooooo @@SurenBhandari32
14:39 that sounds was literally Donald Duck :D :D
I'm extremely excited about this video. My grandson is autistic and has many other issues. He became interested in Japanese food. I'm no chef, but I've been cooking since I was very young.
I'm Italian, so I
mostly cook Italian & American food. I'm so Happy I found you on TH-cam shorts. I'm now subscribed to you're channel.
I'm Truly Grateful. I can now make Dumplings with my Grandson. I've been looking for something, that will bring us closer.
Thank You for all you're hard work. And you're Wonderful videos..
May God's Blessing's Always Surround You & You're Loved Ones..
Much Love from America
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.
Very good. Mo:mo is nepali pride!
Love the new kitchen! The momo’s look yum! But I’m with Mitch on the heat level. 😬
Awesome work Andy. New studio looks littt
🇳🇵
MOMO is love. Appreciate it for the video. Buff momo most of the Nepalese preferred
I love momos; they always remind me of home. The way my mom cooks them is so comforting. The popular one is buffalo momo, from where I am in Kathmandu. I always love the way you cook. Thank you, Andy, for reminding me of my country, Nepal 🇳🇵. I've been in Australia for 6 years now.
On tele gram 😊 TH-cam.
Momo*
You're my favourite food youtuber Andy. Your content is excellent & wholesome. Love from India.
Momos originated in Tibet…the Tibetan refugees did bring it with them to the neighboring countries of Nepal, Bhutan, and India. :)
That new kitchen is beautiful. I thinknwe deserve a kitchen/studio tour... lol ❤
Mate try this sauce. This would be more authentic and way better with momo as well.
Sautee some red onions/shallots, ginger and garlic in some oil (preferably mustard).
Add tomatoes and sautee them as well.
Add a bit of momo masala ( cumin, coriander, cinnamon, cloves, turmeric, chilly pepper, cardamom) and msg.
Fry till liquid of tomatoes has evaporated.
Blend it with some roasted peanuts. (Add water as necessary)
Adust with lime and salt as necessary.
Ground up some black sesame seeds and mix with the sauce.
Enjoy!!!
being a student momo is one of the most affordable and yummy food you can get....we eat momo when we're stressed when we are happy when we're hungry when we meet our friends and family ...we make it together at family gatherings ....it's not only a delicious food item but an emotion at this point....we Nepalese love momo ❤
and your board block is huuuuge ...awesome for kneading and chopping without washing it...👏👏👏👏👏👏
Thanku 🇳🇵from 🇮🇳 for Momos. Every 21st century Indian kid grew eating momos esp those in Delhi.
Thank you for presenting the MOMO Chef. Andy. Always my favourite food!!
I really appreciate that he reads the comment and is willing to correct himself. Really a humble and down to Earth guy, I admire that
Changing or adjusting the ph level of the flour mixture rapidly strengthens the gluten structure. The two proteins, glutenen and gliaden react to moisture, salt, acid and alkaline in different ways. Moisture/hydration is necessary for gluten to start networking, but the following is how you manipulate strengths and weaknesses; salt and small amounts of acid assists hydration, sugar competes for hydration, fat inhibits hydration. The only exception is alkaline noodles. Postassium salts or baked baking powder create an insanely high ph (11-12 i think) and are necessary to make ramen noodles. It also turns the noodles (and dumpling noodle squares) yellow, which is what makes a lot of people think they are egg noodles. They aren't; they are flour, water and alkaline salts to make the noodles as strong and 'bouncy' as possible.
A simple sauce would be to soak some dried hot chillies in vinegar, and blend it with roasted peanuts & some garlic, discard the seed & most of the vinegar if you want to cut out the heat.
I miss my home a lot especially the food. If there was a foodchain for cuisines. Nepalese food will be at the top for me. EVERYDAY!
