• 2 tbsp Sugar (optional)
• 1/3 tbsp Salt (optional)

• Also, keep the water on boil in a pot size bit bigger than streamer tray when the dough is almost ready to roll.
• Now, sprinkle some flour on a working surface and transfer the dough onto it and knead once more and make a ball.
• Roll out the dough with the help of rolling pin and form a circular sheet of 2-3mm thickness. Use flour as needed while rolling.
• Then cut the sheet into strips maintaining the gap of 5-6 cm each. Further, make roll from strips and place on a well-greased tray keeping some gap between each.
• Put the streamer tray onto the pot which is already kept for boiling the water. Cover and steam for 10-12 minutes.
• Now remove the tray from the pot and let them sit for couples of a minute to cool down. Don't completely cool them off.
• FYI, it goes well with stew Ema Datshi.

Notes

– The dough should not be hard nor very soft.

– You need a big pot and steamer tray in order to make Ting Momo.
