Join me and let's see how to make Beshbarmak

Instructions:

Step 1

Prepare the pasta dough by mixing the flour, egg, and a pinch of salt in a bowl. Gradually add water to form a firm dough. Knead it for about 10 minutes, then cover and let it rest for 30 minutes.

Step 2

Roll out the dough into a thin sheet and cut it into squares or diamonds. These will be your pasta pieces.

Step 3

In a large pot, bring water to a boil and add salt. Add the pasta pieces and cook until they float to the surface. Remove them with a slotted spoon and set aside.

Step 4

In another pot, place the cubed meat and cover it with water. Bring it to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 40-50 minutes until the meat is tender. Skim off any impurities that rise to the surface.

Step 5

If using potatoes, add them to the meat during the last 15 minutes of cooking.

Step 6

In a separate pan, sauté the finely chopped onion in vegetable oil until translucent.

Step 7

To serve, place a portion of pasta on a plate, top it with boiled meat (and potatoes if used), and garnish with sautéed onions. Serve hot and enjoy your Beshbarmak!
