Beshbarmak (; ; ) is a meat, noodles, and onion broth dish in Central Asian cuisine. It is also known as naryn in Xinjiang, Uzbekistan, Kyrgyzstan and Kazakhstan, as turama in Karakalpakstan and Dagestan, as dograma in Turkmenistan, and as bişbarmaq or qullama in Bashkortostan and Tatarstan.
Beshbarmak, which means "five fingers" in Turkic languages, refers to the traditional practice of eating the dish with one's hands. This name is believed to have emerged later, especially after Russian cultural and ethnographic observations of the nomadic peoples of Central Asia. Another name for beshbarmak in Kyrgyz is tuuralgan et, which means crumbled or chopped meat.
