Traditional Fish Pelmeni

Instructions

1. 1

   Prepare the dough by mixing the all-purpose flour, egg, and water in a bowl. Knead until smooth and elastic. Let it rest for 30 minutes.

2. 2

   While the dough is resting, finely chop the onion and fish fillet. Mix them together in a bowl.

3. 3

   Season the fish and onion mixture with salt and black pepper to taste.

4. 4

   Roll out the dough on a floured surface until it's thin. Cut out small circles using a glass or a round cutter.

5. 5

   Place a small amount of the fish filling in the center of each dough circle.

6. 6

   Fold the dough over the filling to form a half-moon shape and pinch the edges to seal.

7. 7

   Bring a pot of salted water to a boil. Drop the pelmeni into the boiling water.

8. 8

   Cook the pelmeni until they float to the surface, then let them cook for an additional 2-3 minutes.

9. 9

   Remove the pelmeni with a slotted spoon and serve hot, optionally with sour cream or melted butter.
