Sauté Vegetables: Heat a nonstick frying pan on medium-high heat. Then, add 1 tablespoon of avocado oil. Once hot, add the diced bell peppers, onions, sliced jalapenos, and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, or until they soften, with golden-brown edges but still retaining a slight crunch. Next, remove the vegetables and set them aside in a warm place. While the vegetables are frying, make the sauce.
Make the Sauce: Combine the soy sauce, brown sugar, crushed red pepper flakes, grated ginger, garlic chili sauce, ketchup, hoisin sauce, and chicken broth in a small bowl.
Prepare the Dumplings: Heat 1 tablespoon avocado oil in the same pan over medium heat, then arrange the dumplings in a pinwheel. Pour the sauteed vegetables over the dumplings. Then, cover the dumplings with the sauce.
Adjust Heat: Cover with a tight lid and reduce the heat to slightly below medium, allowing the dumpling to steam and brown, and the sauce to thicken, while preventing burning. The Chili Momos usually take 7 to 10 minutes.
Garnish and Serve: Remove from heat and garnish with chopped scallions or fresh cilantro leaves. Serve hot, straight from the pan, or transfer to a plate.b Remove from heat and garnish with chopped scallions or fresh cilantro leaves. Serve hot, straight from the pan, or transfer to a plate.
