Lagman, also spelled laghman, is a dish of meat, vegetables, and pulled noodles from Uyghur cuisine, its name likely a loanword from the Chinese lamian that developed into a preparation distinctly Uyghur in taste and technique. It is considered a national dish among Uyghur and Dungan communities in Kazakhstan and Kyrgyzstan, and is also eaten in Russia, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan, northeastern Afghanistan, where chickpeas are added, and parts of northern Pakistan, with Crimean Tatar cuisine also adopting it from Uzbek culture.
