Beshbarmak – Kazakhstan's national dish is one I'm excited to share with you! Made with homemade pasta and chicken, smothered in an onion broth, this simple yet flavorful recipe is one made with an extra dose of love and whole, fresh ingredients.
Rinse the chicken, place it in a pot and add water with salt. Bring to a gentle boil skim off the foam, then reduce the heat to simmer and simmer on low heat until done, about 45-50 minutes, or until chicken is cooked thru.
Remove chicken from pan and cool slightly. Then cut it into bite size pieces.
For Onion
Cut the onion into thin halves of rings and place it the sauce pan. Pour in some of the broth to cover, add pepper and give it a good mix then bring it to a gentle boil. Let it simmer for about 5 minutes.
Homemade Pasta
While chicken is boiling lets make pasta. To make the dough, using a bowl dissolve salt in water, whisk in the egg. Add flour (start with 1 ½ cup of flour, if needed add more) and knead a pasta dough.
Wrap the dough in plastic wrap and leave it on the table for 30 minutes at room temperature.
Divide the dough into 2 parts. Take one, roll it out thin and cut into large rectangle pieces using a pizza cutter. Repeat with the remaining dough.
Increase the heat under the broth pot to high and bring it to a boil. Add pasta. Stir and when the liquid returns to boil, cook over medium heat until pasta is cooked thru about 7-9 minutes, stirring few times. Transfer to a big serving plate/ casserole dish. Add chicken and onion with some broth over the top. Sprinkle with chopped herbs and serve immediately.
