Yes, you can use ground lamb, chicken, turkey, or even pork as a substitute for beef in the filling. Adjust cooking time slightly if needed depending on the meat used.
For a vegetarian version, replace the beef with finely chopped mushrooms, lentils, or a mix of tofu and walnuts for texture. Season well to enhance flavor.
Store cooked manti in an airtight container in the fridge for up to 3 days. Reheat by steaming or microwaving with a bit of water to keep them moist.
Yes, uncooked manti freeze well. Arrange them on a tray to freeze individually, then transfer to a bag. Cook frozen manti directly, adding a few extra minutes to the boiling time.
Lightly dust your work surface and rolling pin with flour to prevent sticking. Avoid over-flouring, as it can make the dough tough.
Serve manti with a dollop of yogurt, melted butter, or a sprinkle of sumac and chili flakes. A side salad or pickles complement the dish well.
All-purpose flour works best, but you can substitute half with whole wheat flour for a healthier option. Note that the texture may be slightly denser.

Ensure the edges are well-sealed and avoid overfilling. If they still fall apart, try reducing the boiling intensity to a gentle simmer.
