Laghman served in a Uyghur restaurant in Tokyo
Uzbek lag'mon in Tashkent

Laghman (Kazakh: лағман, lağman; Uzbek: lagʻmon; Uyghur: لەڭمەن, lengmen, ләғмән; Kyrgyz: лагман, lagman) is a Central Asian dish of pulled noodles, meat and vegetables.[1][2][3][4] The noodle is known as latiaozi in China.[5]

Native Turkic words do not begin with L, so läghmän is most likely a loan-word,[5] probably from the Chinese lamian, although its taste and preparation are distinctly Uyghur.[5][6][7][8]

It is especially popular in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan,[9] where it is considered a national dish of the local Uyghur and Dungan[10] ethnic minorities. It is also popular in Uzbekistan,[11][12] Tajikistan and Northeastern Afghanistan, where chickpeas are added to it and parts of Northern Pakistan. The Crimean Tatar cuisine also adopted lagman from the Uzbek culture.[13]
