Fine hand-cut noodles served cold with paper-thin slices of boiled beef or horsemeat, dressed simply with broth, black pepper, and sliced onion.

Ingredients

  • 500g beef chuck
  • 350g all-purpose flour
  • 1 egg
  • 150ml water
  • 1 tsp salt for dough
  • 2 onions, thinly sliced
  • 2 tsp black pepper
  • 1 tsp cumin
  • Salt to taste
  • 500ml reserved beef broth
  • Fresh cilantro

Instructions

  1. 1 Boil beef chuck in salted water for two and a half hours until extremely tender, then remove and let cool completely before slicing.
  2. 2 Make a firm dough from flour, egg, water, and salt, knead well, rest thirty minutes, then roll out as thin as possible.
  3. 3 Cut the rolled dough into very fine noodles, dust with flour to prevent sticking, and boil in the reserved beef broth for four minutes.
  4. 4 Drain noodles and toss with a few spoonfuls of broth to keep them moist, then mound onto a large serving platter or individual plates.
  5. 5 Slice the cooled boiled beef as thin as possible and arrange artfully over the bed of noodles with raw sliced onion rings.
  6. 6 Season with black pepper and cumin, drizzle with a ladleful of hot broth, and garnish with cilantro before serving at room temperature.

Naryn is considered the ultimate test of an Uzbek cook β€” the noodles must be cut so fine they are almost transparent.
