Shivit Oshi

Shivit oshi is one of the most visually appealing Uzbek foods on the menu. It's a vivid dish of brilliant green noodles from Khiva, an Uzbek city on the Turkmen border. It's also known as "khorezm lagman."

Khorezm cuisine is distinct from that of the rest of Uzbekistan. Shivit oshi is a great illustration of how fresh herbs and vegetables are becoming increasingly prevalent in the diet. It's a traditional Uzbek meal made with hand-pulled lagman noodles flavored with fresh dill, which gives them their distinctive brilliant green hue.

Shivit oshi is undoubtedly Uzbekistan's most colorful dish. The brilliant green noodles have been infused with dill, making them both visually appealing and tasty. They are topped with a meat stew, peppers, tomatoes, onions, potatoes, and carrots, and served with yogurt or sour cream on the side.
