Roast with noodles

Step-by-step preparation

Cooking time: 1 hr 40 mins

1. STEP 1

   

   Prepare all the ingredients for the roast.

2. STEP 2

   

   Rinse the pork belly under running water, pat dry with paper towels and chop coarsely. Place the pork pieces in a frying pan and fry in a small amount of vegetable oil over high heat until golden brown. At the end of cooking, salt and pepper the pork. Take a clean bowl and place the fried pieces of pork into it, cover the bowl with foil.

3. STEP 3

   

   Peel, wash and cut the onion into half rings. In the same frying pan where the pork was fried, lightly fry the onion half rings.

4. STEP 4

   

   Wash the carrots, peel and cut into slices. When the onions are slightly fried, add carrot rings to the pan. Continue frying the vegetables until the carrots are soft.

5. STEP 5

   

   When the vegetables are slightly fried and become soft, return the fried pieces of pork to the frying pan, add one bay leaf, pour boiling water over the contents of the frying pan, reduce the heat, cover the frying pan with a lid and simmer for 30 minutes.

6. STEP 6

   

   While the meat and vegetables are stewing, you need to prepare the dough for the noodles.

7. STEP 7

   

   Pour room temperature kefir into a container, add baking soda and salt, stir. Then begin adding the flour sifted through a sieve in small portions. First, use a wooden spoon and then knead the dough with your hands. It should be soft and slightly sticky. Cover the bowl with the dough with a towel and let the dough rest a little for 15 minutes.

8. STEP 8

   

   At this time, wash the potatoes, peel them and cut them into large slices. Open the lid of the pan, place the potato slices on top of the meat and vegetables, adding a little water if necessary. The water should only slightly cover the potatoes, so do not fill the pan to the top with water. Close the lid and simmer for another 10 minutes.

9. STEP 9

   

   Meanwhile, place the butter in a small saucepan and melt it over low heat. When the butter melts, add finely chopped dill and garlic, passed through a press, to the pan and stir.

10. STEP 10

    

    Place the dough on a floured work surface and roll out into a rectangular shape. Grease the surface of the dough with melted butter with herbs and garlic, carefully roll into a roll and cut into portioned cones 2 cm wide. Open the lid of the frying pan, place the noodles on top of the potatoes at a distance from each other so that they do not stick together during cooking. Also, the noodles should not touch the broth, as they are steamed.

11. STEP 11

    

    Place the lid back on and cook for about another 30 minutes to give the noodles time to cook inside. Do not open the lid while cooking noodles, otherwise the noodles will settle and steam poorly.
