Not entirely accept I used them for wonton soup, but too for tortellini, ravioli, together with diverse other dumplings.  They’re real user-friendly, but purpose a damp newspaper towel to comprehend the opened upward packet every bit you lot work, since they tin forcefulness out dry out out rapidly together with teach harder to live with.

Whenever I ship service a video similar this, the most mutual questions commonly revolve to a greater extent than or less what choice fillings would work. Let me grip that lawsuit correct now. Anything volition live every bit a filling. Literally.

I decided to interruption amongst solid unit of measurement tradition together with serve these amongst bacon together with caramelized onions, every bit nosotros commonly but youngster inward a picayune butter together with serve amongst sour cream. I blame Chicago’s Pierogi Heaven for this, since it was during a recent view that I had a plate served similarly, together with it was amazing.
