It's essentially a Tibetan cousin of cold mung bean noodle dishes found across northern China, seasoned with local chili and herbs.
A firm jelly made from mung bean starch is sliced into strips and tossed cold with chili oil, vinegar, garlic, and pepper-style seasoning.
Why it's made this way: The dish reflects the broader northern Chinese tradition of starch-jelly snacks, adapted in Lhasa with local seasoning.
