To make this kind of noodle, you knead the dough, make long strings and then boil the noodles. In Tibetan, these noodles are called sok gyü and local elders say that Tibetans have been making this kind of noodle for a long time. However, many young people only know the Chinese word for this kind of noodle and think of the dish as a Chinese one and not a Tibetan one.
