Method 7 steps
Knead a stiff dough from the flour, water and salt and rest it thirty minutes.
Roll it thin, brush with fat, roll it up and cut across into half-centimetre strips.
Separate the strips by hand and spread them on a board so they do not stick.
Sear the mutton in the fat over a high heat, then add the onion, carrot, potato and cabbage.
Add a cup of water, season and bring it to the boil.
Lay the noodles in an even layer over the meat without stirring, cover and hold twenty minutes on a low heat.
Take the lid off, add the garlic and toss everything together. Serve at once.
