PIEROGI STIR FRY
A simple yet humble recipe courtesy of my mother in law. Heck, I didn't know what to call this recipe! ;) We use store bought Cheemo brand frozen perogie from Canada for this dish, but you can certainly use your own homemade perogie. (I hope one day to learn how to make them and spell the word correctly.) Sometimes I add a potato to the mix to "stretch" the meal even though perogies already contain potatoes. The Cheemo brand has a cheddar cheese/potato variety we really like and an herb/roasted garlic one, too. I noticed the Cheemo site has a similar recipe to this one. Check it out! Serve with a tossed green salad that contains beets, in keeping with the Ukrainian/Russian/Eastern European theme. A Recipezaar member is going to have to set me straight on the correct spelling of pierogies/perogie/-both singular and plural forms.

Tips for Making Pierogi Stir Fry
- Use high-quality pierogi. Fresh, homemade pierogi are best, but frozen pierogi can also be used. Just be sure to thaw them before cooking.
- Cook the pierogi until they are golden brown and crispy. This will give them a nice texture and flavor.
- Use a variety of vegetables in your stir fry. This will add color, flavor, and nutrition to the dish. Some good options include broccoli, carrots, snap peas, and mushrooms.
- Add a protein source to your stir fry. This could be chicken, beef, shrimp, or tofu. If using chicken or beef, be sure to cook it until it is cooked through.
- Use a flavorful sauce. This could be a simple soy sauce-based sauce, or a more complex sauce with multiple ingredients. Some good options include a teriyaki sauce, a hoisin sauce, or a sweet and sour sauce.
