  1. I have made thukpa for years for my Tibetan Lamas that visited here where I live. They never liked the spices, but I am so happy to see this. I use non chicken broth bouillon and it is better than the vegetable broth. And I use kelp noodles too. Thank you for posting this. I did share it with others.
