Classic lagman with chicken

1. All vegetables needed for lagman, clean, rinse under running water and dry with paper towels. Chop onions into small cubes, cut carrots into thin strips, cut tomatoes into small slices, cut string beans into small bars (you can use frozen beans), and Bulgarian pepper - in large strips lengthwise.

2. Pour vegetable oil into a frying pan, heat it to the desired temperature and fry onions on it first, then put carrots to it and fry everything together for 5-6 minutes until golden brown. After that, put the bell pepper and tomato slices in the pan. Mix the pieces of vegetables together and fry them again over medium heat. Add salt and ground black pepper to taste. At the end, add the beans, add ground paprika, a little more salt, sugar, cover the pan with a lid and cook everything together over medium heat for about 20 minutes until the vegetables are soft.

3. While the vegetables are stewing in a frying pan, you can do meat. Rinse the chicken fillet thoroughly with cool water and wipe dry with paper towels. Then put the chicken on a cutting board, cut out the bones, if any. Cut the chicken fillet into medium-sized strips and fry them in another preheated frying pan for a couple of minutes on each side until white.

4. In parallel with frying chicken and vegetables, boil homemade thin noodles (you can replace them with store-bought spaghetti, and sometimes special noodles for lagman are on sale) until half-cooked and drain the excess water, throwing the noodles into a colander.

5. In a large saucepan, transfer the boiled homemade noodles, fried vegetables and chicken fillet. Pour chicken broth into a saucepan and put it on the stove over a slow fire.

6. Peel the garlic and finely chop it. The greens are also washed, dried, finely chopped. In a small frying pan, melt a small piece of butter and fry the chopped garlic and mint for about half a minute.

7. Bring the contents of the saucepan to a boil and put garlic and mint, as well as chopped coriander.

Remove the pan from the heat and let the soup brew for 10-15 minutes, after which you can start eating.

Bon appetit!
