Instructions
Make the Pierogies
- Place the Ube, cheese, yogurt, onion and garlic powder in a bowl and mix well. Season with salt and pepper.
- Take a gyoza wrapper and place about a teaspoon of filling in the middle. Wet the edges and pinch together. Lay on a baking tray and repeat with the other wrappers.
- To fry drizzle some of the sesame oil in a fry pan and place 4-6 pierogies. Fry on medium high heat for 2 minutes then drizzle some water in the pan about 2 Tablespoons and cover to steam for two minutes. Turn down the heat to low. Repeat this process for the other pierogies.
Make the Carmelized Onions
- Place all the onions and oil in a fry pan and sautee until translucent. About 10 minutes on medium low heat. Season with salt and pepper.
Make the Sauce
- Combine all ingredients in a bowl and mix well
Serve
- To serve place some pierogies on a plate and add some onions on top. Serve the sauce on the side.
To Freeze
- If you don't want to fry up all the pierogies all at once, lay them on a single layer on a baking sheet lined with parchment. Freeze overnight on the tray and then take them off the tray and wrap in plastic wrap and store in the freezer for up to a month.
- To cook from frozen place 4-6 pierogies in a fry pan with some sesame oil. Fry on medium low heat for 2 minutes and then add in the water and cover on low heat for 4 minutes. Take the cover off and then turn up the heat to medium high and fry for a further 2 minutes. Repeat.
