Some food historians even claim that
Siberian pel» meni were the world's first «frozen convenience food.»
The main course consisted of classic
Siberian pel» meni dumplings, with two separate stuffings: «Forest dumplings» with venison and blueberries, garnished with butter and sour cream; and «Far Eastern dumplings» filled with salmon, green onions, and fresh ginger (a bit of kick there), with soy sauce or black vinegar to sprinkle on top.
Out in the Russian Far East, my friends enjoy squirting Thai and Vietnamese chile sauces on
their Siberian pel» meni (dumplings stuffed with meat, fish, mushrooms, etc.) and sprinkling their fresh local seafood with soy sauce mixed with crushed hot red pepper flakes.
