Thukpa bhathuk

Thukpa bhatuk is a common Tibetan cuisine noodle soup that includes small bhatsa noodles. This dish is a common soup made in the winter but is especially important for Tibetan New Year. On Nyi-Shu-Gu, the eve of Losar , the common Tibetan soup, thukpa bhatuk is made with special ingredients to form guthuk. Guthuk is then eaten on Losar to symbolise getting rid of negativities of the past year and invite positives into the new year. In the thukpa bhatuk soup, the main components are the handmade bhatsa noodles, which are similar to the Italian gnocchi. Some bhatsa noodles used for this soup are called gutsi rithuk and another noodle type is called bhatuk. Both of these noodles are referred to as bhatuk in Central Tibet. Meat is usually a main ingredient in this soup, commonly mutton, beef or yak; however, this soup can also be made vegetarian with a vegetable bouillon.
