Laghman
Laghman is hand-pulled Uyghur noodles served with a meat-and-vegetable gravy. The dough is stretched by hand into thin, long strands and boiled, while meat (usually beef or lamb) with peppers, onion, radish and tomato is stir-fried in a wok over high heat — this is what gives the gravy its thick, aromatic character.
The gravy comes already mixed into the noodles in one bowl, so it's eaten right away with chopsticks or a fork, scooping up noodles together with the meat and vegetables. Spice level is medium and can be adjusted on request; it's a filling dish suited for lunch or dinner as a main course.
