Fried Pelmeni

Prepare the Dough In a large mixing bowl, combine the all-purpose flour and salt. Make a well in the center and add the water and egg. Mix until a dough forms.

Let the Dough Rest Transfer the dough to a floured surface and knead for about 5 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Prepare the Filling In a large mixing bowl, combine the ground beef, ground pork, finely chopped onion, minced garlic, salt, and black pepper. Mix well until all the ingredients are evenly incorporated.

Make the Dumpling Wrappers Roll out the dough on a floured surface until about 1/8 inch thick. Using a round cookie cutter or glass, cut out circles of dough.

Fill and Seal the Dumplings Place a spoonful of the filling in the center of each dough circle. Fold the circle in half, pressing the edges together to seal the dumpling. Repeat with the remaining dough and filling.

Cook the Dumplings Bring a large pot of salted water to a boil. Add the dumplings in batches and cook for about 5 minutes until they float to the surface. Remove with a slotted spoon and transfer to a plate.

Fry the Dumplings In a large skillet, heat oil over medium heat. Add the cooked dumplings and fry for about 2-3 minutes on each side until golden brown and crispy.

Prepare the Sauce In a small bowl, whisk together sour cream, mayonnaise, Dijon mustard, chopped fresh dill, and Worcestershire sauce until smooth. Serve the fried pelmeni with the sauce for dipping.

Garnish and Serve Garnish with chopped fresh dill and serve hot. Enjoy!
