Caucasian lagman
Description
The dish is prepared without unnecessary complications. You can find a huge number of lagman recipes online, with various ingredients and interpretations. But the essence remains the same: noodles, meat, and vegetables. You can use any meat you like, but it will taste better if you choose meat with some fat. You can combine the vegetables to your taste and adjust their proportions. Although lagman is considered a traditional Uyghur dish, it has been widely prepared for many years and recently has become part of global cuisine. Of course, as with any cuisine, there are regional nuances in how lagman is prepared in the North Caucasus. I found this recipe in a cookbook some time ago, and it has firmly established itself in our family. I haven't changed the name and sincerely hope you will enjoy this dish as well. It turns out filling and very delicious. The ready dish can now be served.
