Since this word consists of a kanji with hiragana attached, you can bet that it will use the kun'yomi reading. You learned that reading with this kanji, but here's a reminder of the mnemonic just in case:
You have to remember the おも part to read this word. To do this, though, you'll have to think about that guy... hmm... what was his name? He's on The Simpsons... he's the bartender? I think? Oh! Moe (おも) is his name! Thank you. Now I remember.
If you don't know Moe from the Simpsons use a different Moe, perhaps the one from the Three Stooges? You should be able to come up with one.
