- Roll out the rested dough into thin circles, each approximately 10 cm wide, and place a spoonful of the chicken mixture in the center.
- Moisten the edges of the dough with water, fold, and pinch to seal the momos tightly.
- Prepare a steamer and steam the momos for 15-20 minutes until the dough is translucent and the filling is cooked through.
