They can be filled with ground meat (beef, chicken, pork, turkey, water buffalo, or yak) usually combined with onions, shallot, and garlic, or with small potatoes in a tomato sauce, or with cheese. The dumplings are generally cooked by steaming over a soup, which is then eaten with the dumplings. Sometimes momos are also pan-fried or deep-fried after being steamed.
