Ingredients:

  • 500g all-purpose flour
  • 250ml water
  • 500g meat (lamb, beef, or chicken), cut into small pieces
  • 2 onions, chopped
  • 2 carrots, peeled and chopped
  • 2 potatoes, peeled and chopped
  • 2 bell peppers, chopped
  • Salt and pepper to taste
  • Oil for frying

Instructions:

To make the noodles, combine the flour and water in a large bowl and mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5-10 minutes, until it’s smooth and elastic. Cover the dough with a damp cloth and let it rest for 20 minutes.

Roll out the dough into thin sheets, about 1-2mm thick. Cut the sheets into thin strips, about 1cm wide. Spread the noodles out on a clean surface and let them dry for a few hours, or until they’re firm.

Heat some oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat. Add the meat and fry for a few minutes until it’s browned on all sides.

Add the chopped onions, carrots, potatoes, and bell peppers to the wok and stir-fry for a few minutes until the vegetables are slightly softened.

Add the noodles to the wok and stir-fry everything together for a few minutes until the noodles are cooked and lightly browned.

Season the dish with salt and pepper to taste, and serve hot.

Note: Some variations of Tsuivan call for adding a bit of soy sauce or other seasonings, so feel free to experiment and adjust the seasoning according to your taste.
