Recipe instructions

Step 1

Step 1
How to cook Tatar-style lagman from lamb? Prepare your food. Wash, dry and peel the vegetables. You can also add bell pepper to the vegetables on the list. Use spices according to taste and availability. The main rule of classic lagman is a very sharp and piquant taste. Any greens will do, I use parsley and celery.

Wash the lamb meat, dry it well and cut into small pieces, removing excess fat and membranes. You can melt the fat in a frying pan and then cook the meat in it. But if you don’t want to make the dish too fatty, then use vegetable oil for frying.

Place the finished noodles on plates (real Tatar lagman is served in deep bowls), sprinkle with vegetable oil so that they do not stick together. Do not throw away the water in which the noodles were cooked; it will be needed for cooking the meat.
