Lagman in a multicooker
4 servings
95 minutes
Lagman is a dish with an ancient history that comes from Central Asia, especially popular in Uzbekistan. Its aromatic broth, rich in spices, soaks the thin noodles, creating a wonderful blend of flavors. Beef stewed with vegetables adds richness to the dish, while the addition of adjika and tomato paste makes it spicy. Cooking in a multicooker simplifies the process, allowing the ingredients to release their aromas and create a rich sauce. Lagman is perfect for a cozy family dinner, providing warmth and richness to everyone who tries it. It is served hot, complemented by fresh herbs and a spoonful of sour cream to highlight the balance of flavors.
