Лагман (Кето, без лапши)
Lagman Stew (Keto, No Noodles)
Yes, with a tweak: explicitly request the stew portion only, with no noodles. About 11g net carbs per serving, on the higher side for Russian food, so watch the portion.
What it is
A vibrant and aromatic Central Asian stew, widely enjoyed in Russia, traditionally featuring hand-pulled noodles.

Key ingredients
Beef or Lamb, bell peppers, tomatoes, onions, celery, garlic, unsweetened tomato paste, cumin, paprika, star anise, beef broth, cooking oil, fresh cilantro/dill.
