Ессе на тему < preparation one of a Kazakh dishes

Answer 1

Відповідь: For this essay I chose "Beshbarmak", it is one of the national Kazakh dishes. I decided to use specifically this dish, because it is quite easy to cook, and in my opinion, all things used in this dish are not too expensive, so anyone can cook it at home if they want to.

In this dish we'll be mainly using boiled meat and noodles, although you can always add something to make the taste more unique.

• For making Beshbarmak, first of all we'll need 1 kg boned beef in a pot with two medium-size onions.
• After we have everything we need, we just pour water in the pot untill it covers the meat.
• Afterwards, heat the pot until boiling and remove the foam on the water. When the water is boiling, cover the pot, let it simmer, and cook for 2 hours when the meat is soft and falling off the bone.
• At last, chop one medium-size onion into round pieces and add it with one bay leaf, one teaspoon black pepper, and salt to the pot.
• Let them boil for about 5 minutes.
• Separate the bone of meat and cut them in the size you prefer.

Thereafter, if you are done preparing the meat, you can either just boil some noodles, or you can  make them yourself.

Here is the recipe for the noodles:

• For making noodles, sift 400 gr flour and add it with ½ teaspoon salt to two whisked eggs. Pour water step by step till making the dough.
• Knead the dough well, then put it in a bowl and cover the bowl with plastic. Let it rest for 30 minutes.
• Pour flour on the work surface and divide the dough into small pieces. Then flatten the dough pieces into a thin layer and cut them into 10 cm squares. Our noodles are ready to cook.
• Bring a pot of water and heat it till boiling. Put the dough squares one by one in the pot and let them boil for 7-8 minutes.

If you'd like to make the meal look more fitting, you can arrange noodles on a platter then put the sliced meat on them, and then just put sliced onions on the meat. You can also pour a little of the broth on them.

After all that hard work, the Beshbarmak is ready!
