Classic manty
Description
The recipe won't take much time. You'll also need a steamer or bamboo steamer and a small spoon of vegetable oil to grease the dish in which the manty will be cooked. Traditionally, manty are steamed in a mantovarka or mantyshnitsa, but I don't have one, so I use a steamer or a multicooker. Modern multicookers have a steam function and a special colander with large holes, which is very convenient for cooking. Serve hot.
