How to prepare Noodles for Beshbarmak?
Mix the flour and salt in a large bowl to prepare the noodles.
Make a well in the center and add the egg and water. Mix until a dough forms.
Knead the dough on a floured surface for about 5 minutes or until smooth and elastic.
Cover with a towel to avoid light penetration, and let it rest for 30 minutes.
After 30 minutes pass, pour flour on the table and cut the dough into squares or rectangles, about 2×2 inches (5×5 cm) in size.
Cook the noodles in the boiling broth for 3-4 minutes or until tender.
Remove the noodles with a spoon and put them on a serving platter.
Notes
If you don’t have time to make noodles, use lasagna instead to save time.
