Ingredients for Naryn (Kazakh Finely Sliced Hand-Cut Noodles with Peppered Meat & Onion Broth) (4 Servings)
- 1.25 lbs (or 2.5 cups) thinly sliced tender beef, prepped into bite-sized pieces
- 1.5 cups hand-cut ribbon noodles tossed in aromatic onion oil, washed and trimmed
- 1 cup hot clear broth on the side
- 1 medium onion and 3 cloves garlic, finely minced with toasted cumin
- 1.5 tbsp traditional Kazakhstan seasoning (lots of cracked black pepper, caramelized onions, scallions)
- 2.5 tbsp traditional cooking oil, sea salt, cracked black pepper, and fresh citrus or herbs
Step-by-Step Cooking Instructions
- Cook or soften the noodles/pasta in salted boiling water until just al dente, then drain while reserving 1/2 cup cooking water.
- Heat oil in a wide wok or deep skillet over high heat; flash-sauté garlic, toasted cumin, and lots of cracked black pepper, caramelized onions, scallions for 30 seconds.
- Add thinly sliced tender beef and hand-cut ribbon noodles tossed in aromatic onion oil, stir-frying briskly for 5–6 minutes until tender-crisp.
- Toss in the noodles along with a splash of reserved liquid so the Kazakhstan sauce clings glossily to every strand.
- Finish with hot clear broth on the side and serve piping hot.
