  • How do you make fried pelmeni with cheese? Choose a deeper skillet, pour in the vegetable oil, and set it over the heat. Once the oil has warmed up a bit, add the pelmeni, season with pepper and salt, then pour in the water. Fry, covered, for about 10 minutes (stirring occasionally, of course).
  • Grate the cheese on a coarse grater, scatter it over the pelmeni, cover, and cook for another 5 minutes.
  • Garnish the finished pelmeni with fresh herbs and, while they're hot, serve!
  • Dig in — enjoy!
  • Any oil is only good up to a certain point — its smoke point, where it starts to burn and form toxic compounds, including carcinogens. To learn how to gauge frying temperature, which oils are best for frying, and which are better left out entirely, read here.
