I used ready-made noodles, now you can find a special one for lagman on sale. If there is a desire, you can cook it yourself. The dough for noodles is made from flour, water and eggs. It should be steeply kneaded, allowed to rest, rolled out and cut into thin strips. Special craftsmen make twisted noodles for lagman. You can find a master class on the Internet. Take vegetables to taste, you can add celery, turnips, eggplants, zucchini to lagman. Whether or not to put potatoes also depends on your preferences. Of spices, I strongly advise zira, all Oriental cuisine is closely related to this seasoning. It gives the dish a unique aroma and rich taste.

Important! An incorrectly selected frying pan can spoil even the best recipe. All the details on how to choose the perfect frying pan for different dishes read here .

Any oils are useful only until a certain temperature is reached - the point of smoking, at which the oil begins to burn and toxic substances, including carcinogens, are formed in it. How to determine the roasting temperature and choose the best oil for frying, and which is better not to use at all, read here .

If you use ready-made spice mixes, be sure to read the composition on the package. Often, salt is already present in such mixtures, take this into account, otherwise you risk over-salting the dish.
