👨🍳 Instruções
- 1
Make the dough: In a large bowl, whisk together flour and salt. In a separate bowl, whisk the egg with 0.5 cup of water. Gradually add the wet ingredients to the dry ingredients, mixing until a shaggy dough forms. Turn out onto a floured surface and knead for 8-10 minutes until smooth and elastic. Cover with a damp cloth and let rest for 30 minutes.

Roll out the dough: Divide the dough into 4-6 portions. On a lightly floured surface, roll out each portion very thinly (about 1/8 inch thick). You can also use a pasta roller. Cut the dough into 4-inch squares.

Assemble the manti: Place about 1 tablespoon of filling in the center of each dough square. Bring opposite corners together to form a pouch, pinching to seal. Repeat with the remaining corners, then pinch all the sealed edges together to create a pleated effect. Ensure the edges are well sealed.

Steam the manti: Lightly grease the steamer trays with vegetable oil. Arrange the manti in a single layer, ensuring they don't touch. Steam over boiling water for 20-25 minutes, or until the dough is cooked through and the filling is hot. If steaming from frozen, increase cooking time to 40-45 minutes.

Serve: Serve hot, traditionally with a dollop of sour cream or yogurt, and a sprinkle of fresh herbs.
