Fry the onion ,garlic, ginger, and add cabbage minced, and carrots minced, add salt & pepper, then add the bones. After 2 mins, add water and the noodles. 
You can add MSG if you wish to. Or overlook this part. A pinch of cornflour can also be added. 
Keep it on until it boils for 10-15 mins and add scallions 30 secs before switching off. 
In the meantime, you can Boil, Steam or deep fry your momos. Deep fry is quicker, tastier and an easier method. Steaming is the healthier choice and still very very tasty. It can be done in a rice cooker. Alternatively you can fry the bottom and boil it complete the cooking process. 
Choose your pick. 
Finally, saute your sauce in a pan, add a bit of salt and sugar and make sure the heat is as per your family’s taste. Just 30 secs before, add minced green onion or scallions and toss them together. 
Serve piping hot! Enjoy! 

Story of the recipe

This is more Indian/ Nepalese way of preparation. Also known as Dumplings in S. E Asia and China. 

:We have it all year round but in Winter it is a really enjoyable brunch option! 
It’s perfect to treat your family or yourself! It is a bit labour intensive but the taste is worth it. 
There are several youtube videos on how to fold or pleat momos but practice definitely makes it perfect. The taste is amazing nevertheless! 
One of my favourite dishes and I hope you and your family enjoys it as much as we do
Happy Holidays Squaddies!
