3. Knead the dough again and then break them into small round portions. Roll each portion into a small ball. Keep the middle of the rolled ball thick to create a base and prevent it from breaking. Keep the edges of the ball much thinner.
4. Put the stuffing in the middle of the rolled ball. Wet your fingers and close the ball completely.
5. Repeat the same process with the remaining dough and stuffing. Place the momos into a large steamer and over the boiling water. If you want, you can grease the steamer dish with a little oil to prevent the dumplings from sticking.
