  • 1 Tbsp soy sauce
  • ¼ cup fresh dill chopped

  • pepper
  • 2 Tbsp olive oil for frying

Topping:

Instructions

  • Combine the flour and salt. Add water and olive oil.
  • Combine well until the dough is formed. Set aside for 10-15 minutes.
  • Boil textured soy protein and drain it.
  • Add 1-2 Tbsp of olive oil to a pan and heat it up. Fry the chopped onion until translucent.
  • In the meantime, mash the tofu with a fork and add it to the pan.
  • Fry for 3 minutes and add the boiled textured soy protein granules, drained. Season with salt and pepper. Fry for about 10 minutes.
  • Add the soy sauce and stir for another minute.
  • Transfer the filling into a bowl. Add chopped dill.
  • Let the filling cool down for about 15-20 minutes.
  • Roll the dough and cut into 2 mm thin circles.
  • Add 1 tsp of filling to each, then fold the circle in half and press the edges with your fingers.
  • Form the rest of the pierogi and let them dry out for about an hour.
  • In a pot, bring water to a boil. Throw the pierogi in the water and boil for 7 minutes (or 2 minutes before they are done).
  • Heat up some oil in a pan. Transfer the pierogi and fry for 2 minutes on each side until they are golden brown and slightly crispy.
  • Serve with caramelized julienned onion.
