In Uzbek cuisine naryn is an pasta dish made with fresh hand-rolled noodles and horse meat. Naryn can be served as a cold pasta dish (kuruk norin – dry norin) or as a hot noodle soup (khul norin – wet norin). Homemade pasta is rolled very thinly and cut into strips 1–2 mm wide and 50-70mm long. The noodles are cooked in plain boiling water or often in a broth of horse meat. Horse meat is then shredded into the pasta and naryn is served on a lagan (12" plate) decorated with slices of horse meat sausage ( kazy). The dish is served as a part of any extended meal after the samsa and before the plov (osh).
