components

Any lagman has two components. Long noodles, it is called the word "lagman" and meat and vegetable sauce " vaja ".
 

In this photo, lagman, ie noodles, is stretched - chuzma lagman. We intentionally do not describe the process of extracting noodles. In Uzbekistan, few people pull noodles themselves, even if they know how to do it. We cook chuzma-lagman on our own and almost every day. In Uzbekistan, you can buy a package of fresh extracted noodles at any market.

 

Lagman is not only chuzma, elongated. Lagman may also be Kesma  - cut. You can knead the usual noodle dough, roll it into a large thin layer and cut into long strips about two inches thick. This will be your Kesma lagman.
