Momo in Ginger Scallion Sauce

Ingredients

• 6-8 ready-made momos
• 1/4 cup spring onions, finely chopped (plus extra for garnish)
• 1 tbsp ginger, finely chopped
• 5 garlic cloves, finely chopped
• 1 tsp sesame seeds (plus extra for garnish)

• 1 tsp lemon juice
• 1 tsp honey

Steps

1. Make the sauce: add the spring onions, ginger and garlic to a bowl; heat the oil until smoking hot and carefully pour it directly over the mixture.
2. Add the schezwan sauce, light soy sauce, honey, lemon juice, salt and black pepper; mix until combined.
3. Bring a large pot of water to a gentle boil; add the ready-made momos and cook for 6-8 minutes, until fully cooked.
4. Add the hot momos to the sauce and toss until evenly coated.
5. Garnish with extra spring onions and sesame seeds; serve immediately.

Tips

• Taste for salt before it leaves the pan. The pinch is easy to miss.
• Keep ginger and garlic moving in the oil so they toast instead of burn.
• Warm the bowl. A hot dish on a cold plate goes quiet in a minute.
