Recommend some street snacks in Lhasa

1, yogurt

There is a grand festival in Lhasa called "Snow Festival". This festival means a day to drink yogurt. Can you understand the position of yogurt in the hearts of Tibetans, especially in Lhasa?

In the traditional Tibetan production process, people use yak dung as fuel to cook fresh yak milk; Then, the overnight yogurt is used as a fermented product and stored in a room at 30℃ to 40℃, so that the lactic acid bacteria in it can multiply in large quantities. With the increasing acidity of lactic acid, protein in yak milk began to precipitate and finally became tender tofu.

People who like yogurt are blessed in Lhasa. You can choose different flavors of yogurt all over the street, as well as various sour and sweet yogurt derivatives, such as yogurt cake, fried yogurt, yogurt popsicles and so on. You will never get tired of eating a food.

2. Yogurt Popsicle

Yogurt popsicle is a derivative of yogurt and the best street snack in Lhasa in summer. Walking on the streets of Lhasa, you can often see a Jia sitting in the corner with a small basin full of round yogurt popsicles in front of him. Strangely, in this weather of more than 20 degrees, the popsicles sold by Ajia showed no signs of melting.

Yogurt popsicles are extremely simple to make. Put the yogurt in a suitable container and freeze it into a solid. A good yogurt popsicle tastes like a tight sponge ice, dense and slippery.

Step 3 fry potatoes

Fried potatoes are the most popular snacks on the streets of Lhasa, regardless of men, women and children. It is also another street legend in Lhasa besides bean jelly. Slice potatoes and fry them in a high-temperature oil pan for a few minutes. Take them out when they are golden brown and sprinkle with Chili noodles. Potato or potato, pepper or pepper, the two simplest things, collide together, take advantage of the heat of that bone, eat a few mouthfuls at a time, and the mixture of sweet and spicy makes people want to stop.

The potatoes in Lhasa are particularly sweet and are the protagonists in a sense in the restaurant. Some people say that because of the long sunshine time and the large temperature difference between day and night, the starch content of potatoes planted here is also particularly high. In recent years, a variety of foods made of potatoes have emerged in an endless stream, and new products have been continuously introduced. However, with its convenience, quickness and delicacy, fried potatoes will remain the king of street snacks for a long time to come, occupying the hands of street pedestrians.

4. Sweet tea

Most visitors to Tibet are not used to butter tea, but they like sweet tea, especially in Lhasa, which is very famous in Tibetan areas.

Make a bag with fine gauze first.

Step 1: Pour pure water into the pot (just a little), pour half a cup of black tea into a gauze bag (filter the crumbs in the tea), and put the black tea into the water to boil for about 5 minutes when the water boils. In the process of re-cooking, stir the gauze bag in the water by hand. When the time is almost up, take out the gauze bag, squeeze out the water and dump the residue.

Step 2: Pour the milk powder into the stirring, add the freshly cooked black tea water (not too hot) and stir well.

Step 3: Pour the purified water into the pot (all) and add the freshly stirred milk powder. There will be a lot of foam at first, and it needs to be stirred constantly with a spoon, and the foam will gradually decrease.

Step 4: Add sugar and stir well. After adding milk powder and sugar, be sure to boil it, or you will have a stomachache.

Step 5: Pour the remaining black tea into a gauze bag and put it in a pot for about 5 minutes. The method is the same as the first step.

Finally, pour the prepared sweet tea into a thermos to keep warm and drink it at any time.

Step 5 hide the surface

Tibetan noodles are an indispensable snack in traditional Tibetan food. You can call it dinner or snack. It is said that it is a New Year's Eve dinner, and there is not much hidden noodles. Generally, it is not easy to eat a bowl. It is said that it is a snack and also belongs to the category of noodles. It is usually sold in the teahouse noodle restaurant.

After visiting Norbulingka, I suggest having lunch and taking a taxi to drepung monastery after lunch. Drepung monastery is built on a hillside, so it takes a lot of energy to visit. It is recommended to wear comfortable shoes, otherwise it will be very hard to get up and down. After visiting drepung monastery, I suggest you find a teahouse or bar to have a rest. After all, you can't be too tired after swimming in the plateau.
