Perogyoza

We finally made perogy! And it was so easy. Perogy-like things called gyoza are famous in Japan (although I think they're originally from China) and you can buy the circular dough enclosures in any grocery store. (Sorry Nanny. We aren't making the dough...)

At Christmas, me made our first batch. We bought some strong cheddar at a special grocery store in Kokubunji and mashed it up with some potatoes. We learned that boiling the gyoza dough was not a good idea, so we cooked them in a pan with a wee bit of water, then fried them. We didn't have sour cream, but they were still delicious.


We brought part of our first batch to a Christmas potluck at Nakamachi Community Centre and I think my students liked them.

We made our second batch two nights ago. It's too easy! (Kath, try it!) If perogy was only healthy!
