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.
