Good afternoon dear friends. The winter holidays are just around the corner, which means we have a long weekend ahead of us and an extra reason to meet with family and friends. And where there are gatherings, one cannot do without a feast. And probably many housewives are concerned with the question of how to surprise their guests?! I suggest you don’t rack your brains, but take a classic dish - manti.
After all, I think that everyone loves meat in dough!! Most likely, many people will prepare dumplings for the New Year's table, at least in our family it is a custom to celebrate the year with the obligatory presence of this dish. But manta rays, or poses as they are also called, will be very relevant for the winter holidays.
In general, this dish is very popular among many nations, and if we draw an analogy with this dish, it will look like this: in Russia - these are dumplings, in Italy - ravioli, in Georgia - khinkali, in Ukraine - dumplings, and in Lithuania - sorcerers . But for experienced cooks, and for me too, these are all different dishes.
The homeland of manta rays is China, which has a very interesting history. I came across it by accident, read it, I think you will be surprised.
From the history!! As the Chinese legend says, the dish owes its origin to the commander Liang Junge. So he had to sacrifice 50 men to the spirits, but since he did not want to give up his warriors, he resorted to deception: the commander asked to make buns from the dough that looked like human heads, and then fill them with beef. The spirits did not notice the substitution and were pleased. Well, the recipe caught on and became popular in many countries.
The best recipe for manti dough so that it is elastic and does not tear
I want to say that for this dish it is very important to knead the correct dough, because not only the taste, but also the preservation of the juicy filling will depend on it.
