Pasta Soup: Narin (نارىن)
Watch the video tutorial here.
Narin is a traditional Uyghur pasta soup. There are many kinds of Narin. No matter what kind of Narin is made, the pasta (chöp -چۆپ) is always cooked in a nourishing meat soup until it becomes silky smooth and served with the soup. That is why we call the Narin a "Medicine soup which is considered easy to eat while you have a cold and feel weak. The nourishing soup heals the body from the dry cold winter days". I hope you try this yummy, nourishing & delicious recipe!!
😋Yield: for 2 Hungry people
🕙Total Time: 1 hr (it doesn’t include boiling the soup)
soup:
lamb 200gr
ginger 25gr
black pepper 1/2 tsp
cumin 1/2 tsp
water 2L
INGREDIENTS
dough:
white flour 130gr
egg 1x
a pinch of salt
water about 20ml
topping:
carrot 2x
onion 1x
black pepper 1/2tsp
a hand of salty water
INSTRUCTIONS
To make soup: add 2L water to the cooking pot. Cut the lamb (with some bone on it) into big pieces, add the meat and the salt to the pan. Let it boil for 2-3 hours on low heat. Put the sliced ginger in the last half hour.
To make the dough: Add flour, egg and a pinch of salt to a mixing bowl. Add a little water during the kneading, knead to make a smooth dough (I made a blog post about How to Make Dough), cover with a damp towel or plastic wrap and set aside at room temperature for 15- 20 min.
Sprinkle enough flour for on the working surface and on the rested dough, then roll it out with a rollingpin. Roll it until the dough becomes thin and even. (If the dough tears, no worries, we'll tear it up again later anyway ;)) you need to roll out the dough as thin and even as possible. Then tear it into pieces. Each piece is slightly smaller than half your palm. Let them rest. (see picture below)
Cut the onion and the carrots in half, put them in the soup. Add black pepper, cumin and salt. Cook them for about 15 min in the soup until they become soft.
When the carrots and onion are soft, along with the meat and ginger, take them out of the soup. Pour the soup through the strainer to filter out the little bone fragments. Bring the soup to a boil again. Shake all the dough pieces gently to remove the dry flour, then add the dough pieces into the soup. Mix, so they don’t stick to each other. Add salt to your own liking. Let it boil on low heat for 8-10 min.
Dice the cooked carrots into small pieces. Cut the onion and tender meat into the size of carrot dices as well. Add them into a bowl. Add a hand of salty water (a mixture of 1 tbsp salt to a 150ml tap water). This brings out the taste of all the ingredients and makes the topping moist. Mix all the ingredients very gently by hand.
Serve: the hot pasta soup in a big shared plate, place the topping evenly on top of the soup. Lightly sprinkle black pepper to your own liking. Use a tablespoon and enjoy (2-4 person per plate)!!
