Out of a Flower ice cream Act II kettle corn Frieda’s dried jackfruit Geoff & Drew’s Late Night Incredible Cookies

That craving for an Asian dumpling has taken hold of you like a wasabi zing, but you’re in the mood for a bit more class than the snacks fried up within the tiled walls of the Chinese take-out kitchen at the end of your block.

With its own savory rendition of Peking ravioli, Tremont 647 curbs your urge with momos, a Tibetan-style pouch of flavor. This appetizer is a quartet of bite-size bonbons on a plate drizzled with sriracha (that fiery stuff you might recognize by its rooster-adorned, green-tipped, squeezable bottle). Though the delicately fried nuggets’ tiny size may make them seem demure, they’re actually the strong, silent type: these pop-’ems pack a loaded punch with filling of minced pork spiced with chili flakes, garlic, cilantro, and scallions. Souse them in soy-sake sauce, and you’ve got more than enough flavor to tide you over until your entrée arrives ... or until your next order of momos lands on your table.

And Tremont 647 knows how to celebrate a good thing: on December 15, the restaurant plans to serve its one millionth little dumpling; the lucky diner who orders it will win free momos for a year.

Available for $7 per order at Tremont 647, 647 Tremont Street, in Boston. Call (617) 266-4600.
