Pyanse (, ) or pigodi (, pigodya пигодя, ) is a steamed pie, bun, or dumpling stuffed with cabbage and meat dish in Sakhalin Korean cuisine. It is a popular dish in the Russian Far East, as well as in Koryo-saram communities of Central Asia.
Etymology
The Russian word
pigodi (пигоди, plural) derived from
pigodya (пигодя, singular), is the Russian transcription of the
Koryo-mar word
begoja (베고자).
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 ("king dumpling").
It has been the most popular street food in
Vladivostok since the early 1990s, and became popular in
Moscow in the 2010s.
