Pelmeni offer a savory and comforting flavor profile, largely determined by the filling. Common flavors include meaty, peppery, and sometimes a hint of onion or garlic. The dough adds a subtle wheatiness.
The primary flavor comes from the filling, typically a mixture of ground meat (beef, pork, lamb, or a combination), onions, garlic, salt, and pepper. Some recipes include herbs like dill or parsley. The dough, made from flour, water, and sometimes egg, provides a neutral base that complements the filling. When boiled, the broth can also impart additional flavor. Served with sour cream, vinegar, mustard or butter enhances the overall taste.

Dough Consistency
The dough should be firm but pliable, easy to roll out thinly without tearing. Resting the dough after kneading helps achieve this consistency.
Filling Ratio
A well-balanced filling is key to flavor. Don't overdo the onion or garlic, and ensure the meat is seasoned properly.
Sealing Technique
Ensure the edges of the pelmeni are tightly sealed to prevent the filling from escaping during boiling. Use a little water to help the dough stick together.
Freezing
Pelmeni freeze very well. Spread them out on a baking sheet before freezing, then transfer them to a freezer bag once frozen to prevent sticking.
