Loaded Perogies

I was introduced to perogies by a friend who always cooked them in either microwave or sautee them in oil. She paired them with noodles or rice. For a year or so, that was all I did. One night, as I was sauteeing them, I noticed that the box it came in had colorful veggies sprinkled on them. An idea sparked looking at it and hence came the version-1 of Perogies.

Years later, I've seen "Loaded Perogies" restaurant pop up. Few modifications then, based on their taste, I came up with my version of it. My friend was pleasantly surprised when I made this for her on her visit. She made sure to note the recipe and try on her own.

Cook time: 8 min                                                                                 

                                

Ingredients: 

• Potato & Cheddar Perogies (I use cheemo brand)

• Chili Sauce 
• Salt 
• Coriander Leaves 
• Spring Onion 
• Sesame oil 

Let's go! 

• In a pan add sesame oil, heat it up and add chopped garlic, onion (for presentation, I prefer to cut vegetables julienne) and stir it until onions are translucent.
• Add cabbage, carrots, green peppers and cover it with a lid and on medium flame cook it. 
• Add salt, soy sauce, chili sauce to the cooked vegetables and stir it well. 
• Wash the perogies in warm water to de-freeze them.
• Add perogies and toss them until they are coated with sauces. 
• Stir them, now and then, to avoid perogies from sticking to the pan. 
• Once the perogies slightly brown, add chopped coriander leaves and spring onion to it.
• Serve it with sour cream, it enhances the taste of veggies and the perogies. 

Do try it and let me know how it turned out.
