Pyanse


Pyanse or pigodi is a Russo-Korean steamed pie, bun, or dumpling stuffed with cabbage and meat. It is a popular dish in Russian Far East, as well as in Koryo-saram communities of Central Asia.

Etymology

The Russian word pigodi derived from pigodya, which is the Russian transcription of the Koryo-mar word begoja.

History

Pyanse is said to have first made in Kholmsk, Russia by Sakhalin Koreans in the early 1980s, as an adaptation of Korean wang-mandu. It has been the most popular street food in Vladivostok since the early 1990s, and became popular in Moscow in the 2010s.
