The traditional lagman recipe uses homemade noodles. If you want to make it yourself, then you will need premium wheat flour - 250 grams, water - 1 glass and a teaspoon of salt. We dilute the flour with water in a bowl, add salt and knead the dough. Grease the top of the dough with vegetable oil and leave for 15 minutes. Then roll out the dough into a thin layer with a rolling pin, fold it 16 times and cut into thin noodles. We also cook homemade noodles in salted water and rinse the finished noodles with water.

If you use a thin-walled pan and turn on high heat to simmer vegetables and meat, they will become crispy. This is how Uyghur lagman is prepared.

At your discretion, you can add or omit various vegetables, legumes and use different types of meat to the filling for the lagman.
