Momo (Nepali: मम; Nepal Bhasa: ममचा, मम:; Tibetan: མོག་མོག་, Wylie: mog mog; simplified Chinese: 馍馍; traditional Chinese: 饃饃; pinyin: mómo[2]) is a type of dumpling native to Tibet and Nepal. It is similar to Chinese baozi and jiaozi, Mongolian buuz, Japanese gyoza, Afghan mantu, in Mauritius known simply as dimsum and Korean mandu. Over the years, it has become very popular in the Indian states of Assam and Manipur; where people have started eating its plain steamed pork-filled variety as part of their staple diet.
