Thukpa in Canberra
Thukpa is the Himalayan answer to a cold day: a big bowl of noodles in a spiced broth, loaded with vegetables and your choice of chicken, buff or egg. It came down from Tibet and settled happily into Nepali kitchens, and it is pure comfort in a bowl.
Order it when you want something warming and brothy rather than heavy. The good versions build the stock properly, so it tastes deep and clean at once.
