A 16-ounce bag holds about 52 Russian-style dumplings, each one folded into that little ear shape pelmeni are known for. Inside the thin wheat dough is chicken thigh, mushrooms, onion, dill, and sour cream, so the filling stays moist and a little savory, with the mushrooms bringing some earthy depth. Boil them in salted water for 3 to 4 minutes, until they float, or boil first and pan-fry for a crisper edge. Compared with other frozen dumplings in Trader Joe’s lineup, these lean more on a simple, soup-friendly filling than on a saucy sauce packet or a heavy wrapper.
