There seems to be a decent Russian population here. Anyone know of a place that sells pierogi?

[bbud656]

I really want some Ukrainian pyrohy (varenyky) but Ill settle for any variant.

go out dongdaemun history and culture park exit 5. turn right, then turn left onto the road. there are a couple of markets (one on the right side of the road) that sells handmade potato-stuffed pierogi.

there are also some uzbek and russian restaurants selling various dumplings and meat (lamb) filled bread. look down the alleys on the right when you find the aforementioned road. (woori bank [with Cyrillic lettering on the left], alleys full of restaurants on the right)

i didn't try the pierogi, but i did pick up some sour cream from the market and it wasnt bad. also had some samsas at the bakery...microwaved to heat up but still quite good.

Thanks, I have been looking for decent sour cream as well. I am going to try to make them myself because dongdaemun is kind of a haul, but next time im in the area, I will check it out.

amazingly (well not quite amazing), my wife (korean) makes me perogies. She learned how after a few visits with my mother (Ukrainian-Canadian) ...she makes me cabbage rolls too - the wife that is!

Ah yes....mixed with fried onions, a bit of butter and sour cream.....the potato and cheese pierogies...

[bbud656]

I found this recipe online. Im going to give it a try. http://thesaucykitchen.blogspot.com/2010/09/ukranian-pyrohi-pieroghi-pyrohi-with.html

If you're making your own, most grocery store freezer sections have frozen mandu dough that's easy to use and tastes the same as pierogi dough!
