To begin the preparation of Chinese Oats Vegetable Dimsum,

To make the dough

1

Take the flour into a large mixing bowl, add a little water at a time and knead to make a smooth dough.

2

Once the dough comes together, keep kneading for about 5 minutes to make it smooth and  elastic. The dough should not be sticky. Cover and keep aside.

To make the filling 

1

Heat a teaspoon of oil in a wok/kadai. Add the vegetables and stir-fry for 3 to 4 minutes on high heat until they become lightly soft.

2

Add the 40 gram of oats packet into the vegetables, cover and cook the oats in the steam created along with the vegetables on low heat. You can optionally sprinkle a teaspoon of water to steam cook the oats.

3

Once the oats is cooked, turn off the heat and allow the vegetable oat mixture to cool.

To make the dimsum

1

The next step is to roll the dough out, fill and shape it into dumplings (momos).Divide the dough into small lemon size portions of an inch in diameter.

2

Dust the dough portions in flour and roll out into a circle. Don’t roll too thick, as the filling will push itself out and tear when steamed.

3

Place a small spoon of filling in the center of the rolled circle.

4

Bring together the edges of the dough with a pinching and folding motion on one side and bring the other side to hold to the pinched side. By doing this, the half moon shaped momos will have a frilled look.

5

Proceed the similar way with the remaining dough. You can experiment with different shapes and sizes that you like. All it takes is some time and practice.

6

As you keep shaping the momos, you need to keep them on a greased platter and cover with a damp cloth to prevent them from drying out.

7

While you are shaping the momos, keep a steamer with water boiling. Grease the steamer pan with some oil to prevent the momos from sticking.

8

Place the shaped momos on the greased steamer pan. So when you have one set of shaped momos, place them in the steamer and steam on high for 5 to 7 minutes until you see a glaze on the skin.

9

The skin will begin to shine. As soon as you notice this, turn off the heat and remove the momos from the steamer. Place them in a dish and keep covered.

Serve the Chinese Oats Vegetable Dimsum along with Chilli Garlic Sauce.
