Valentine’s Day is the perfect occasion to show your partner just how much they mean to you. One of the most intimate ways to celebrate love is by cooking a special meal together. Whether you're a seasoned chef or a beginner, creating a heartfelt dinner for two can be a rewarding experience. In this blog, we’ll share some unique ideas for a romantic Valentine’s meal, with a spotlight on Nepali dumplings (momo) and Nepali chowmein—delicious, authentic dishes that are perfect for sharing with your loved one.

Why Cook for Your Loved One on Valentine’s Day?

Cooking for someone is one of the most personal ways to show you care. It’s an act of love that goes beyond the usual box of chocolates or bouquet of flowers. A homemade meal not only demonstrates thoughtfulness and creativity, but it also creates an intimate atmosphere where you can bond over the shared experience of preparing and enjoying a meal.

With KANCHU, you can take your Valentine's dinner to the next level by incorporating vibrant Nepali flavours into your meal. You’ll find that Nepali momo and Nepali chowmein are perfect choices—flavourful, comforting, and full of heart. Let’s explore some easy yet impressive ideas to prepare an unforgettable dinner for your partner.

Romantic Dinner Ideas: Nepali Dumplings (Momo)

Momo, a traditional Nepali dumpling, is a fantastic option for a Valentine’s meal. These little pockets of joy are bursting with flavour, whether you choose chicken, vegan, or another filling. The variety of options allows you to cater to both your tastes and dietary preferences, making them the perfect dish for a romantic, customised dinner.

 

Steamed or Fried Momos: Choose Your Favourite

The beauty of momo is that they can be served in many different ways. Steamed momo are light and juicy, while fried momos are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Depending on your preference, you can decide which cooking method works best for the two of you.

• Steamed Momo: Serve with a tangy homemade tomato chutney for a burst of flavour.
• Fried Momo: These are crispy on the outside and packed with savoury filling—perfect if you want a crunchy contrast to the soft, juicy insides.

For a truly romantic touch, serve momo with a homemade chutney or dipping sauce. You could also pair them with a fresh salad or a light soup to balance the richness of the dumplings.

 

Perfect for Sharing: A Momo Platter

You could prepare a platter of momos for the two of you to share. Consider mixing up the fillings to provide variety—chicken momo for one, vegan momo for the other. Sharing a platter adds a fun, interactive element to the meal and encourages conversation as you taste and discuss the flavours together.

 

A Flavorful Twist: Nepali Chowmein for Valentine’s Day

If you’re looking for a hearty, satisfying addition to your romantic meal, Nepali chowmein is the answer. This Nepali-style stir-fried noodle dish is a delicious, flavourful entrée that pairs wonderfully with momo.

Nepali chowmein is full of savoury vegetables, tender meat, and perfectly cooked noodles, all stir-fried to perfection in a blend of spices. Whether you choose chicken chowmein or a vegan chowmein, this dish is both comforting and exotic—perfect for impressing your partner.

 

 

A Quick and Easy Nepali Chowmein Recipe for Two

If you’d like to try making Nepali chowmein at home, here’s a simple recipe that can be prepared in less than 30 minutes:

• Cook chowmein noodles (you can use spaghetti noodles or egg noodles) until tender.
• Stir fry vegetables like cabbage, carrots, and bell peppers with a mix of soy sauce, garlic, and ginger. Feel free to add chilli if you like it hot!
• Add your choice of chicken or tofu for protein, and stir-fry until cooked through.
• Toss everything together in a hot pan with a drizzle of soy sauce and a sprinkle of Nepali spices (cumin and coriander powder) to add depth.

This Nepali chowmein will complement your momo beautifully and add an extra layer of flavour to your Valentine’s Day meal.
