   Recipe from Jigme Topgyal, a Tibetan.
   
   In his native Tibet, these would be made with a flour
   ground from roasted barley called “Tsampa”. The
   [alternate] filling usually is made with ground
   chicken mashed with onions, daikon, fresh ginger,
   garlic and cilantro. [A] Vegetarian filling contains
   chopped cabbage, bok choy, tofu, green onion, ginger
   and garlic.
