馍馍蒸饺(常见于西藏、尼泊尔、北印度等地)
a type of Tibetan, Nepalese, or North Indian dumpling (= a small piece of dough or pastry) that is filled with meat, fish, or vegetables with herbs and spices and cooked in steam
Since we’d come for momo, we ordered three types – veggie, chicken and beef. 因为我们是专门来吃馍馍蒸饺的,所以点了三种:素馅、鸡肉馅和牛肉馅。
Add the momos to the steamer once the water is at full boil. 水完全沸腾时,将馍馍饺放入蒸笼里。
