Step by Step Instructions with Photos

1. Finely chop all the vegetables, minced or grate ginger and garlic. Keep everything ready before you start as this recipe can be done in no time once you start.

2. Heat oil in wide pan. Once oil is hot, add chopped onions, spring onion white, minced ginger and garlic. Stir fry over a medium high flame for a few seconds.

3. Now add chopped capsicum, carrot and cabbage, stir fry for 2-3 minutes, making sure vegetable are cooked yet crunchy.

4. Further add soy sauce, red chili sauce, vinegar, tomato sauce, black pepper powder and salt. Give everything a nice mix.
5. Add corn flour slurry, mix everything well and simmer until the sauce thickens to your desired consistency.

6. While sauce is getting ready, lets air fry steamed momos. Air friying momo is very quick, crispy momos are ready in no time. So my suggestion would be to prepare the sauce and air fry momo once you are ready to serve.
7. To air fry momos, set the air fryer on 350 degrees F (180 degrees C) for 10 minutes. Line the baking tray with parchment paper liner or butter paper.
8. Arrange the steamed momos on tray, spray some oil and place in air fryer. After 5-6 minutes momos will turn golden brown and crispy, turn them upside down. My Air fryer took exact 10 minutes to air fry momos. Time may vary with the size of momos and Air fryer too.

9. Momos are ready to serve. Gravy is hot, thick and ready too.
10. To the gravy add half of chopped spring onion greens and coriander. Add air fried momos too and give everything a gentle stir making sure momos are well coated with sauce. Adjust seasoning or sauces if required.
