What are Momos?
Momos are steamed dumplings stuffed with veggies, chicken or minced meat. Originated in the regions of South and East Asia, Momos are now a popular Indian street food also served in most of the restaurants.
Momos are basically of two types, steamed and fried which are usually served with a sauce or a dip. There are variety of them that are prepared and served all across the world with a variety or fillings and sauces. Right from veg, chicken, soup to tandoori momos each one has its own wonderful flavor and taste.
I was planning to make them for quite sometime now and I also had some left over Chicken Noodles in my fridge from the previous night. So I decided it would be a good idea to use these as a stuffing for my momos. I usually use noodle stuffings for fried dumplings and spring rolls and this time it was Chicken Noodle Momos – served with Hot Sauce!! This Hot Sauce is also called Sriracha Sauce which is a type of hot sauce or chilli sauce made from chilli peppers. Along with the recipe for Chicken Noodle Momos, I have also shared the recipe for Hot Sauce below.
