Steamed manti in a steamer

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 2 hr

1. STEP 1

   

   How to make manti in a steamer? Prepare your food. I use minced beef as the filling. Ideally, it should be lamb, not minced in a meat grinder, but chopped with a knife. There should be a lot of onions, this will make the manti juicy.

2. STEP 2

   

   Knead the dough from flour, eggs and water. Let the dough rest for half an hour, during which time the gluten contained in the flour will swell and the dough will become more elastic. Don't neglect this step. The dough becomes much better, and working with it is much easier. At the end of kneading, I beat the dough on the table, throwing the lump forcefully onto the surface, this also has a good effect on its properties.

3. STEP 3

   

   While the dough is resting, prepare the minced meat. Finely chop the onion. I rub it on a coarse grater. Add onion to meat. Salt, add spices to the minced meat, then knead it well.

4. STEP 4

   

   Roll out the rested dough onto a floured surface into a square layer. Don’t make it very thin, there will be a lot of meat and the dough may tear.

5. STEP 5

   

   Cut the layer into squares approximately 8*8 cm. I do this with a pizza cutter, it’s very convenient.

6. STEP 6

   

   Place a lump of minced meat on each square. Don't skimp on the fillings, manti are not dumplings)

7. STEP 7

   

   Cover up the manti. I sculpt as follows. I connect the opposite corners of the square to the center. I pinch the resulting holes.

8. STEP 8

   

   All that remains is to connect the adjacent corners - and our manta is ready!

9. STEP 9

   

   To prevent the manti from sticking to the steamer bowl, you need to grease each manti with vegetable oil from below. To do this, take a saucer and pour a little oil on it. Before placing the manti, carefully move its bottom along the saucer. Leave a distance between the mantas, otherwise they may stick together. Cook manti for 45-50 minutes.

I really like manta rays. I found a video recipe, I think it will be useful to see (if anyone doesn’t know how) how to sculpt manti.

Incredibly delicious steamed manti in a double boiler were made using this recipe. Even my passionate meat-eaters will love it! I added a little pumpkin to the minced meat, greased the tiers of the steamer, and cooked for 45 minutes. This is delicious! Thanks to the author of the recipe!
