What is Ulkoy?
Ulkoy is a traditional Kazakh dish that consists of boiled noodles wrapped around a mixture of meat, onions, and spices. It’s often served as a main course or used as an ingredient in other dishes. The name “Ulkoy” literally means “tortoise-like” in Kazakh, which refers to the way the noodles are wrapped around the filling.
Recipe: How to Cook Ulkoy
Ingredients:
For the noodle dough:
- 2 cups all-purpose flour
- 1/4 cup warm water
- 1/4 teaspoon salt
For the filling:
- 500g beef, ground or minced
- 1 large onion, finely chopped
- 2 cloves garlic, minced
- 1 tablespoon vegetable oil
- 1 teaspoon ground cumin
- 1/2 teaspoon paprika
- Salt and black pepper to taste
- 2 tablespoons chopped fresh parsley
Instructions:
- Make the noodle dough: In a large mixing bowl, combine flour, warm water, and salt. Mix until a dough forms. Knead the dough for about 5 minutes until it becomes smooth and elastic.
- Rest the dough: Cover the dough with plastic wrap or a damp cloth and let it rest for at least 30 minutes.
- Cook the noodles: Divide the dough into small pieces, about the size of a golf ball. Roll out each piece into a thin sheet, about 1/16 inch thick. Boil the noodles in salted water for 5-7 minutes or until they float to the surface. Drain and set aside.
- Prepare the filling: Heat the oil in a large skillet over medium heat. Add the chopped onion and cook until softened, about 5 minutes. Add the ground beef, garlic, cumin, paprika, salt, and black pepper. Cook, breaking up the meat with a spoon, until it’s fully browned.
- Assemble Ulkoy: Divide the cooked noodles into small portions. Place a portion of noodles on a flat surface and add about 1/4 cup of the meat mixture in the center. Fold the noodles over the filling to form a rectangular shape, making sure to seal the edges tightly. Repeat with the remaining ingredients.
- Serve: Serve Ulkoy hot, garnished with chopped parsley and your choice of sides, such as boiled eggs, pickled vegetables, or crusty bread.
Enjoy your delicious Kazakh-style Ulkoy!
