'''Beşbarmaq''', or '''Beshbarmak''' ({{lang-ky|бешбармак}}, {{lang-kz|беcбармақ}}, {{lang-ba|бишбармаҡ, ''bişbarmaq''}}, {{lang-tt|бишбармак}} — ''five finger''), is the [[national dish]] among nomadic [[Turkic peoples]] in [[Central Asia]].

The term ''Beshbarmak'' means "five fingers", because nomads used to eat this dish with their hands. The boiled [[meat]] is finely chopped with knives, mixed with boiled [[noodle]]s, and spiced with onion sauce. It is usually served in a big round dish. Beshbarmak is usually served with [[shorpo]] – [[Lamb and mutton|mutton]] broth in bowls called ''[[kese]]''. Shorpa is usually served after this dish.
