Stir into the flours & salt & set aside. Blend the vinegar tofu & water till smooth. Combine with the flours handling till the dough has a medium stiff consistency. Roll out dough on a floured board forming a 21" x 6" rectangle 3/16" thick. Cut into 8 equal pieces about 3" x 3" each. (Rolling the dough a littel thinner may yield another 3 pieces). Place about 1 1/2 tb filling on each piece. Wet the edges of the dough. Stretch one corner of the dough to meet the opposite corner forming a triangle & press together sealing the pierogi. Bring water to a simmer in a large pot. Drop each pierogi carefully into the water & cook in the simmering water till the pierogi rises to the surface. Remove & drain. They can be sealed in a plastic wrap & kept in the fridge or frozen at this point. To serve the pierogi saute in oil until lightly browned. Serve with vegan sour cream.
