🇳🇵 Nepal recipe
Thukpa
Thukpa is a soul-warming noodle soup that traveled from Tibet to the mountain communities of Nepal, where it became a beloved everyday meal across the Himalayan regions. A steaming bowl of thukpa features hand-pulled or store-bought noodles swimming in a deeply fragrant broth with vegetables, meat, and a generous hit of ginger and garlic. It is the ultimate comfort food for cold Himalayan evenings and a staple in teahouses along Nepal's trekking routes.
