Momo are filled dumplings associated with Nepalese food. They can be steamed or fried; jhol momo are served in soup. The filling and preparation depend on the recipe. The examples below come from our menu collection, while the style explanations describe the wider food tradition.
Jhol momo are dumplings served in soup, rather than a name for every momo dish. Kathmandu’s Timure Mo:Mo describes steamed momo in soup on its own menu. This is an explanation of the style: our menu examples below do not establish a Lapen Inns jhol momo offer.
