Make the Dough
In a large bowl, mix the flour and salt. Create a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix until a dough forms, then knead for about 10 minutes until smooth. Wrap in plastic wrap and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Roll Out the Dough

Fill the Manti
Place a teaspoon of the meat filling in the center of each square. Fold the corners to the center and pinch to seal, forming a little pouch.
