To make the pierogi dough, place a cup of all purpose flour on a dry, clean, flat surface and add a teaspoon of salt. Mix the ingredients together.
Slowly, add the water, a little at a time. Using your hands, combine the ingredients together. Continue this process until the dough is wet.
Sprinkle more flour on your working surface and start kneading the dough. Push down with the lower part of your palm, fold and repeat. The dough is ready once it no longer sticks to your fingers.
Roll the dough until paper thin without it being translucent.
Take a regular sized glass and press rim side down to cut out medium sized circles.
Warm up the pulled pork, add diced red onion, shredded cheese and BBQ sauce. Mix the ingredients together.
Place a spoonful of the filling in the middle and seal it shut by pinching the edges together.
Fill a pot with water, add a pinch of salt and bring to a boil.
Drop the pierogi in the water and cook. Once they pop to the surface cook for another 2-3 minutes and remove them from the boiling water.
Preheat a pan over medium heat and add some olive oil. Place the cooked pierogi in the pan and sear 2-3 minutes per side until you get a nice crust on both sides.
Top the pulled pork pierogi with the pickled red onion, chopped green onion and enjoy!
Pickled Red Onions
Slice the entire red onion and stuff into a mason jar.
In a sauce pan, add water, white vinegar, sugar, salt and peppercorns, and bring to a boil. Pour the mixture in the mason jar and seal shut. Set aside for it to cool off.
Notes
Heat up water on the stove top or kettle but do not boil! Warm water relaxes gluten in the flour, making the dough soft and pliable.Before you start kneading it, the mixture has to be wet, but not too wet that it becomes a slimy mess. If that does happen, add a little bit more flour and continue the process.If the mixture is too dry, add more water and continue the process.Add diced jalapenos in place of red onion for the stuffing to give it some heat.
