The delicious Laphing
Laphing (also spelled Laphey or Lhaphing) is a popular Tibetan street food made from mung bean starch (or sometimes potato/corn starch) that is cooked into a slippery, jelly-like sheet.
It is sliced into thin strips and served cold with spicy, tangy, and savoury sauces, often mixed with garlic water, vinegar, sesame oil, soy sauce, and chilli. Widely enjoyed in Nepal, Tibet, and the Himalayan regions, it is known for its refreshing taste, smooth texture, and bold flavours.
