This dish has its own holiday, which is celebrated on November 25. Juicy, filling and delicious manti are prepared with clover, wild garlic, quince, cabbage and even pilaf. There are even so-called "mouse" manti. But don't be alarmed - they got this name not because of their dubious contents, but because of their miniature size.

How to cook Manti with meat and Chinese cabbage

Step 1

Pour water over the sifted flour and add salt. Mix the dough first with a fork and then with your hands. Sprinkle the table with flour and transfer the dough. Knead the dough until smooth.

Step 2

Form the dough into a ball and place it in a bowl. Cover with cling film and refrigerate for an hour.

Step 3

For the filling, mix the minced meat with onions, potatoes and cabbage. Add the tomato sauce and mix well.

Step 4

Form a sausage from the dough and divide it into equal parts. Roll out the dough thinly (about 2 mm thick). Put a tablespoon of filling in the middle of each flatbread. Make manti.

Step 5

Cook the manti in boiling water for about 10 minutes.

Manti with meat and Chinese cabbage - FAQ About Ingredients, Baking Time and Storage

Can I substitute the minced meat in the filling with another protein?

Yes, you can use ground chicken, turkey, or even plant-based meat alternatives for a different flavor or dietary preference.

How can I make this recipe vegetarian?

Replace the minced meat with mashed lentils, tofu, or additional vegetables like mushrooms for a hearty vegetarian filling.

Can I freeze the manti for later use?

Yes, place uncooked manti on a tray to freeze individually, then transfer to a bag. Cook from frozen, adding a few extra minutes to the boiling time.

What’s the best way to reheat leftover cooked manti?

Steam or gently reheat in a microwave with a damp paper towel to keep them moist. Avoid boiling again to prevent sogginess.

How thin should the dough be rolled out?

Aim for about 2mm thickness—thin enough to cook quickly but sturdy enough to hold the filling without tearing.

Can I use a gluten-free flour for the dough?

Yes, but opt for a 1:1 gluten-free blend with xanthan gum for elasticity. The texture may vary slightly.

What are some serving suggestions for manti?

Serve with yogurt, garlic sauce, or a drizzle of melted butter and paprika. A side salad complements the dish well.

How long can I store uncooked manti in the fridge?

Keep them refrigerated for up to 2 days on a floured tray covered with cling film to prevent drying.

Can I add other vegetables to the filling?

Absolutely! Grated carrots, zucchini, or spinach work well. Just ensure excess moisture is squeezed out to avoid soggy dough.
