Home-made noodles stir-fried and finished in steam with meat and vegetables, an everyday dish in Mongolia, simple and hearty for the cold of the steppe.
Ingredients
- 300 g flour and 150 ml water (or 400 g thick noodles)
- 400 g beef or lamb, cut into strips
- 1 onion
- 2 carrots
- 1/4 cabbage
- 1 pepper
- Oil, salt and pepper
How to make it at home
- Make a dough with the flour and water, roll it out thinly, brush it with oil, roll it up and cut it into strips like tagliatelle.
- Brown the meat in oil in a deep frying pan.
- Add the vegetables, cut into strips, and stir-fry for 5 minutes with salt and pepper.
- Lay the noodles on top, add half a glass of water and cover for 10 minutes over a low heat so they steam.
- Mix everything well before serving.
The trick: If you’re using shop-bought noodles, cook them only halfway before putting them on top.
