Lagman in a multicooker

Prepare all the necessary ingredients and the multicooker for a delicious lagman. In the classic version, lamb is used for the meat, but I will be using fatty pork. You can also use beef, turkey meat, or chicken fillet. Homemade noodles for lagman are made by stretching long strands of dough with a diameter of 3-4 mm. This takes a lot of time. It's good that you can now buy such noodles in supermarkets for any taste. This reduces the cooking time. You can use any seasonal vegetables, as long as they harmonize with each other. Use ripe and tasty tomatoes. The variety and color of the tomatoes do not matter much. Instead of tomatoes, you can use chopped tomatoes or tomato juice. Tomato paste or sauce is also a great option in cold weather. Use any variety of bell pepper, but make sure it is fleshy, as its color does not matter.

Rinse the tomatoes. Make a shallow cross-shaped incision on top. Lower them in boiling water for 30-40 seconds. Then remove the tomatoes from the boiling water and transfer them to cold water. Thanks to this step, it's very easy to remove the skin from the tomatoes.

Peel the tomatoes and remove the stem. Cut them in half. Slice the halves into quarter-circles or small random pieces.

Thoroughly wash and dry the meat with a paper towel to remove excess moisture. Cut it into medium-sized pieces for easy skewering. In the bowl of a multicooker, pour half of the specified amount of vegetable oil. Turn on the Sauté program. If it's not available, you can use the Bake program. Let the oil heat up for 1-2 minutes. Add the pieces of meat. Sauté for 3-4 minutes, stirring with a silicone spatula.

Pour water into the bowl. You can use cold or hot water. Instead of water, you can use meat, mushroom, or vegetable broth. Cover tightly with a lid and start the Stew/Meat program for 30 minutes. Since I have a quite powerful multicooker with a pressure cooker function, this time will be enough for the meat to cook. Adjust the time according to your multicooker.

Transfer the stewed meat together with the broth to a separate saucepan. Peel, rinse, and dry the onions and carrots. Chop the onions into thin slices and the carrots into semi-circles of medium thickness. I used a shaped knife for slicing. Pour the second half of the oil into the bowl. Turn on the Sauté program. After a couple of minutes (when the oil has heated up), add the onions and carrots. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring.

Thoroughly rinse and cut the peeled potatoes into medium-sized pieces. Add them to the vegetables. Sauté for 2-3 minutes, stirring.

To make Lagman in a multicooker delicious, add plenty of vegetables. Take any kind of eggplant. Rinse it. Optionally, peel off the skin. Trim the stems on both sides. Cut into medium-sized pieces. Add them to the rest of the ingredients. Sauté in the same mode for 2-3 minutes.

Remove the seeds from the bell pepper. Rinse it. Cut into medium-sized strips. Add them to the bowl. Stirring, sauté for a couple of minutes.

Peel, rinse, and press garlic cloves through a press. Adjust the amount to your taste. Add it to the bowl. Also, add chopped tomatoes. Season with salt and pepper. Mix well. Sauté for 2-3 minutes in the same mode.

Pour stewed meat together with broth into the multicooker bowl. Stir and taste. If the tomatoes are slightly sour, you can add a little sugar. Cover with a lid. Select the Stew/Vegetable program for 10 minutes. Since the meat is already cooked, this time will be sufficient for readiness.

Generously sprinkle with chopped herbs. Transfer the vegetables with meat to a separate pot.

Pour water into the bowl of a multicooker. For every 100g of noodles, use 1 liter of water. Add a pinch of salt. My assistant has a Multipovar program, where dishes can be cooked without pressure. Bring the water to a boil. Add the noodles to the boiling water. Stir. Bring it to a boil again. Cook for 1 minute. Turn off the program. Cover with a lid and let it sit for 7-8 minutes until the noodles are cooked. The cooking time for the noodles is indicated on the package.

Drain the noodles into a colander and rinse with hot water. Shake to remove excess liquid.

In a deep bowl, distribute a portion of lagman noodles and pour broth with vegetables and meat over it. If you pour in a lot of broth, it will be a first course, if less - second course.

Lagman in the multicooker is ready. Enjoy your meal!
