Laghman
Hand-pulled egg noodles with beef and a seasoned vegetable gravy.
About Laghman
Zira's Yodgorbek Abdurahmonov pairs homemade pulled noodles with beef and vegetable gravy. Uzbekistan's tourism authority identifies stretched-noodle lagman as an established regional style, distinct from versions made with cut or fried noodles.
This attributed home recipe combines beef, onion, cabbage, bell peppers and tomato with soy sauce. Ginger, fennel and star anise supply the named aromatic seasonings; celery contributes both its stems and reserved leaves.
The long noodles and chunky gravy form the dish's two components. Celery leaves are reserved for decoration. The source gives their complete preparations without specifying a final serving temperature or one exact plated arrangement.
