Lagman

Hand-pulled noodles with lamb and vegetables in broth.

Ingredients

• 4 cups Flour
• 1½ cups Water
• 500 g Lamb
• 2 Bell peppers
• 3 Tomatoes
• 1 Onion
• 150 g Green beans
• 4 cloves Garlic
• 1 tsp Cumin
• 1 tbsp Paprika
• 4 tbsp Oil
• 2 tsp Salt
• 5 cups Water for broth

Method

1. Make the dough — Knead flour, salted water into a smooth dough, oil it, and rest 2 hours — long resting is what lets it stretch.
2. Pull the noodles — Roll into ropes, then stretch and fold repeatedly until thin, dropping straight into boiling water.
3. Cook the sauce — Fry the lamb hard, then add onion, pepper, beans, tomato, garlic and spices.
4. Simmer — Add water and cook 30 minutes until the sauce is rich.
5. Lagman is ready — Put noodles in bowls and ladle the meat sauce over.
