Laghman (Kazakh: лағман lağman; Uzbek: lagʻmon; Uyghur: لەغمەن‎ leghmen, ләғмән; Kyrgyz: лагман lagman) is a Central Asian dish of pulled noodles, meat, and vegetables.[1][2][3][4]

Native Turkic words do not begin with L, so läghmän must be a loanword,[5] probably from the Chinese lamian, although its taste and preparation are distinctly Uyghur.[5][6][7][8]

It is especially popular in Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan,[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 in the Chitral and Gilgit regions of northern Pakistan, where it is known as Kalli or Dau Dau.
