Ingredients
1 Medium White Cabbage
2 Spring Onions/ Scallions - chopped finely
1 Teaspoon Ginger Garlic Paste
500 Grams Minced Meat ( I used half if each beef & pork)
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce
½ Teaspoon Red Chilly Flakes
½ Teaspoon Level Pink Himalayan Salt
½ Teaspoon Black Pepper Powder pepper (to taste)
Butter (for frying)
Method

Remove the center stem creating a well so that the leaves can loosen while boiling.

Parboil the white cabbage boiling water for 3- 4 minutes. 

Once the Cabbage Leaves are done, remove the Cabbage Leaves from the water.Drain and remove excess water with a towel, then divide the cabbage into single leaves.

In a bowl, mix the finely chopped spring onions, ginger garlic with the minced meat. Season with salt, red chilly flakes and pepper, but be cautious with the salt due to the soy sauce.
Now depending on the size of the Momos you want and the size of the Cabbage Leaves present, you can either use one whole Cabbage Leave to make a Momo or tear the leaf in half. It's really up to you!

Lay out the cabbage leaves and place one tablespoon heaped of the stuffing on each leaf. 

Fold them up and close tightly.

On the same container, which you used to boil the Cabbage, put a strainer and add a little oil to it and spread it around. Add the Momos one by one to it, and cover it and let it cook for about 12-15 minutes. Cool them a little. 

Heat a pan with butter and fry the momos 

until they turn brown on both sides.

Serve the momos with Sriracha sauce or soy sauce for dipping.

Homemade Chilli Oil#AlphabetChallenge

Chili oil is a fragrant, spicy condiment, staple of Chinese cuisine, particularly Sichuan cuisine. This is an addictive oil tha can be used as a topping for dumplings, noodles and stir-fries, this chilli oil carries aromas and flavours of Asian chilli powder, garlic plus toasted spices . The flavor is dynamite and taste of this oil is divine. It's so delicious.

This is my take on Chilli Oil, you can always add or minus the spice level according to your taste.
Ingredients
6 Big Cloves Garlic - minced
1 Tablespoons White Sesame seeds - lightly toasted
2 Tablespoons Korean Gochugaru or Red Pepper Flakes
1 Cup Vegetable Oil
2 Tablespoons Sesame Oil
1 Whole Star Anise
1" Stick Cinnamon
1 Bay Leaf
1 Teaspoon Sichuan Peppercorns
2½ Tablespoon Kashmiri Red Chilly Powder
2 Teaspoon Sea Salt
1 Tablespoon White Vinegar
1 Tablespoon Soy Sauce

Method

In a pan, toast the star anise, sesame seeds. cinnamon stick, bay leaves, Sichuan peppercorns over medium low heat until just starting to release a fragrance.

Heat the oil in a seperate pan, when the oil is just warm add all the toasted spices. Let this oil heat up to medium low flame till the spices start to gently sizzle. Cook at a gentle sizzle for 2 minutes. Switch off the flame and let it cool for 5 minutes. Remove the bay leaf. 

Place the gochugaru flakes, garlic and salt in a heat-proof jar or bowl. Pour the oil over this mixture. Add the vinegar, soy sauce, chilli powder, gently stir. Allow to cool before storing in an airtight jar. Refrigerate, use within six months to a year.

This is an addictive oil tha can be used as a topping for dumplings, noodles and stir-fries etc.

Vegan Thai Peanut Butter Noodles#SundayFunday

This Vegan Thai Peanut Butter Noodles are so easy and delicious. This dish will be ready in less than 20 to 25 minutes and is a great ‘clean out your fridge’ recipe, so you can use any veggies you have!
Ingredients
For The Peanut Sauce
½ Cup Peanut Butter - I used creamy
3 Tablespoons Tamari Or Coconut Amino
2 Tablespoons Sesame oil
1 Medium Lime - zest and juice
½ Teaspoon Fried Minced Garlic
1 Teaspoon Noodle Powder Mix
1 Teaspoon Red Chilly Flakes
Other Ingredients
½ Cup Scallion - Green & White Chopped
½ Cup Carrots - cut into juliennes
1 Packet Noodles
Optional Garnishes
Handful Roasted Peanuts - roughly chopped
1 Tablespoon Fried Brown Onions - Brista
1 Teaspoon Fried Minced Garlic
Method
For The Sauce

Add all ingredients to a blender, starting with little water. Blend until smooth then add a little more water to thin as necessary. The amount you need will depend on how thick or runny your peanut butter is. Bear in mind that the noodles are easier to toss if the sauce isn't too thick. Set aside.
The colour will look different depending on which method you choose. Blending makes it much lighter.
For The Noodles
Boil the noodles as per packet instructions. Drain and keep aside.

In a large wok heat oil add the carrot and white part of the scallions sauté for one or two minutes on high flame. Add the blended sauce and let it cook till it comes to a boil add the noodles and toss them well. Add the green part of the scallions and toss for a second or two. It's ready!!

Serve garnished with fried onions, garlic and crushed peanuts. Enjoy!!

Keto Chinese Steamed Buns#BreadBakers

If you are on Keto and longing for Chinese steamed buns ,then these are for you which are not only gluten free, but pillow-soft, delicious and will go well with any Asian food. You can also make a sandwich with whatever filling you want. 

These also freeze very well. If you want them sweet, then you can increase the sweetener in the batter. I enjoyed them as a savory sandwich and also make these to enjoy with gravy instead of rice. These do not have an egg taste or flavor. To cut that flavor, have added a teaspoon of apple cider vinegar. Do try these they are soo..oo.. good!

Ingredients
½ Cup Almond Flour
⅛ Teaspoon Stevia powder
1 Teaspoon Baking powder
⅛ Teaspoon Salt
4 Large Eggs
1 Tablespoon Mayonnaise
1 Teaspoon Apple Cider Vinegar
Method

Mix all dry ingredients together and mix well then add the eggs and mayonnaise mix till combined.

Place a 2 tablespoons of batter in each silicone mold and steam it for 10 minutes on high flame or on a water bath in the oven 180°C for 13 minutes. 

Cool  & unmold.

Slice and  make sandwiches with the filling of your choice 

or dunk them in any gravy.
My Notes

I used an aluminum cupcake tin and they didn't stick at all. I used steel plates to make large ones, but batter did stick to the bottom. Make them in silicon mold or place a greased parchment paper before adding the batter to the steel plates.
