Ingredients
- 2 tablespoons avocado oil
- 1 large  bell pepper (large diced)
- 1 large onion (larged diced)
- 4 garlic cloves (sliced thinly)
- 1  jalapeño (sliced; seeds/pith removed for less heat)
- 2 tablespoons low-sodium soy sauce
- 2 tablespoons brown sugar
- 1 tablespoons garlic chili sauce (adjust to heat level preference)
- 2 tablespoons ketchup
- 1 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 teaspoon grated ginger
- 1 teaspoon crushed red pepper flakes (optional for added heat)
- 1/4 cup low-sodium chicken broth
- 14  dumplings (store-bought, frozen, or homemade)
- Cilantro leaves (or chopped 2 scallions for garnish)

Instructions
1. Sauté Vegetables: Heat a nonstick frying pan on medium-high heat. Then, add 1 tbsp of avocado oil. Once hot, add the diced bell peppers, onions, and sliced jalapenos and garlic. Sauté for 2-3 minutes or until they soften with golden brown edges but still retain a slight crunch. Next, remove the vegetables and set them aside in a warm place. While the vegetables are frying, make the sauce.
2. 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.
3. Prepare the Dumplings:Heat 1 tbsp of avocado oil in the same pan over medium heat and arrange the dumplings as a pinwheel. Pour the sauteed vegetables over the dumplings. Then, cover the dumplings with the sauce.
4. Adjust Heat:Cover with a tight lid and reduce the heat to slightly under medium, allowing the dumpling to steam and brown and the sauce to thicken while preventing burning. The Chili Momos are usually done in 7 to 10 minutes.
5. Garnish and Serve:Remove from heat and garnish with chopped scallions or fresh cilantro leaves. Serve hot straight from the pan or transfer onto a plate.
