About the dish

Sabtuk is a traditional soup originating from Tibet. The soup is usually made with a combination of nettle tops, garlic, oil, salt, onions, leeks, and black pepper. The garlic is browned in oil and mixed with salt and onions. The mixture is cooked until the onions start to soften. The nettles are boiled, drained, and added to the wok along with boiling water. The soup is simmered for a few minutes and everything is then mashed with a wooden spoon over low heat. Sabtuk is served in bowls and it’s typically garnished with chives or yogurt before serving. It’s recommended to serve the soup with balep flatbread on the side.
