What is Naryn?
Naryn is a classic Central Asian dish. It's known for its main ingredients: finely chopped meat and homemade noodles. The meat is usually horse meat, which is a common food in this region. Sometimes, lamb meat is also used.
Naryn in Kyrgyz Cuisine
In Kyrgyzstan, naryn is often prepared with finely chopped lamb or horse meat. It's mixed with a special onion sauce that adds a lot of flavor. Interestingly, if you add noodles to this dish in Kyrgyzstan, it's then called beshbarmak. Beshbarmak is another very famous noodle and meat dish in Central Asia.
Naryn in Uzbek Cuisine
In Uzbekistan, naryn (or norin) is a pasta dish. It features fresh noodles that are rolled by hand. The noodles are then cut into thin strips, about 2 to 4 millimeters wide. These noodles are cooked in plain boiling water or sometimes in a rich broth made from horse meat.
After cooking, the horse meat is shredded and mixed with the noodles. Naryn can be served in two ways:
- Cold Naryn: This version is called kuruk norin, which means "dry" norin. It's a cold pasta dish.
- Hot Naryn: This is known as khul norin, or "wet" norin. It's served as a warm noodle soup.
Naryn is often presented on a large plate called a lagan. It might be decorated with slices of a special horse meat sausage called kazy. This dish is usually part of a big meal, often served after samosas and before plov (a rice dish).
