Pork lagman with potatoes and noodles

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 30 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   How to cook pork lagman with potatoes and noodles? Prepare the necessary products. For soup you can use any part of pork, I used part of a ham. You can also replace pork with any other meat of your choice. Be sure to take purified water. Tap water may have an unpleasant taste. Vegetables are fresh and seasonal. Take noodles from durum wheat, you can replace them with spaghetti. Better yet, prepare homemade lagman noodles.

2. STEP 2

   

   First, rinse the piece of meat you will be using in running water. Dry it with a paper towel, cut off all the films and cut into medium pieces.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel the onion, rinse and cut into small cubes. To prevent your eyes from stinging while slicing, rinse the onion sections and knife under running water.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the carrots with a brush to remove dirt, peel them with a knife or vegetable peeler. Cut the carrots lengthwise into quarters and then cut into medium pieces. I used a curly knife.

5. STEP 5

   

   Wash the bell pepper and remove the stem and seeds. Cut it into strips lengthwise and then into squares. Peppers can be any color, but red will add more color to the soup. I took green and red.

6. STEP 6

   

   Wash the tomatoes, remove the stem and cut into arbitrary pieces, preferably the size of the rest of the vegetables for greater harmony. If you don’t like skins in a tomato, then make a cross cut on it and scald it with boiling water. The skin will come off easily.

7. STEP 7

   

   Wash the potatoes to remove dirt with a brush, peel the skins and cut into medium cubes. Or you can cut into larger pieces to suit your taste. I made the cutting with a curly knife.

8. STEP 8

   

   Rinse the greens under running water, dry with a paper towel and finely chop. You can take any greens to your taste: dill, parsley, cilantro, celery or basil.

9. STEP 9

   

   Take a deep frying pan, grease the bottom and sides with odorless vegetable oil. Add onions, carrots and bell peppers. Fry for about 5-7 minutes over medium heat until the vegetables are soft.

10. STEP 10

    

    Move the vegetables to the side. Place the chopped meat in a frying pan and fry it until slightly browned. Then mix the meat and vegetables, add salt and pepper to taste.

11. STEP 11

    

    Add tomatoes to the pan, stir and simmer for about 5 minutes.

12. STEP 12

    

    Add tomato paste and 250 ml to the fried vegetables and meat. hot water. I do not recommend using cold water; it will lower the overall temperature and the dish will take longer to cook. The richness of the gravy depends on the amount of tomato paste. Tomato paste can be replaced with tomato sauce or ketchup. Simmer the gravy for 30 minutes over low heat.

13. STEP 13

    

    Transfer the contents of the frying pan into a saucepan, add potatoes to it and stir.

14. STEP 14

    

    Pour filtered water into the pan, adjusting the thickness you need. I added a liter of water and the soup turned out to be quite thick. You can use less water and you will get a thicker gravy. Bring the dish to a boil and simmer for another 30 minutes over low heat. At the same time, cover the pan with a lid, but not completely, so that steam escapes.

15. STEP 15

    

    At this time, boil the noodles for lagman. To do this, pour 2 liters of filtered water into a separate pan and add a tablespoon of sunflower oil. This will help the noodles not stick together. Bring water to a boil and add salt. Place the noodles in boiling water and cook for about 5 minutes until half cooked. Focus on the softness of the noodles. It should not be hard, but not completely soft either. Drain the noodles in a colander or sieve.

16. STEP 16

    

    When serving, place the noodles in a deep plate and pour the gravy with vegetables and meat over it. If the noodles have cooled down, pour boiling water over them. Sprinkle generously with aromatic herbs on top and serve. Bon appetit!

My husband loves such colorful dishes, and I prepared them for him) Another version of the same lagman with potatoes. I took pork on the bone, boiled it, removed the meat from the bone and cut it into pieces. The broth turned out rich, but transparent. When I was frying it together with onions and carrots, I also stewed sweet peppers and tomatoes. It’s more convenient, it cooks faster and the vegetables have time to exchange juices. I have special wide noodles for lagman. I boiled it until al dente. Among the spices, in addition to paprika and black pepper, I added a little curry. Lagman turned out very tasty, I liked it too) It is rich, aromatic, bright with a variety of vegetables. Spices complement all this splendor with their fragrant aroma and pungency.

Lagman with pork potatoes turned out thick, rich, and very tasty. Due to quick frying over high heat, the meat was sealed, the pieces turned out tender and soft. By the way, I haven’t fried meat for soup before, I liked it. The dish is simple to prepare, all the ingredients are available, the taste is wonderful, rich, the set of vegetables is a favorite. We really liked the recipe and the result. I will be happy to cook again.

Firstly, lagman is an oriental dish and preparing it from pork is simply blasphemy, secondly, potatoes and carrots do not go into lagman, only meat, onions, tomato paste, bell peppers, radishes and garlic cut into thin strips, and if served with spaghetti , and not with real lagman noodles, it’s just a sauce with spaghetti, and by the way, the noodles can be prepared quickly, within half an hour for a family of 6 people, also with an additive.

I really love lagman, like many other oriental cuisines. I tried it for the first time in an oriental restaurant about 10 years ago and was delighted. It came with homemade noodles. It's incredibly delicious!

Lagman with potatoes turned out simply amazing. Considering that in general I am new to cooking and even more so to making soups, everything is just super, but I made a more dietary option - instead of pork I took turkey
