Thenthuk (Tibetan: འཐེན་ཐུག་, Wylie: then thug) or hand-pulled noodle soup (thukpa), is a very common noodle soup in Tibetan cuisine, especially in Amdo, Tibet[1][2] where it is served as dinner and sometimes lunch. The main ingredients are wheat flour dough, mixed vegetables and some pieces of mutton or yak meat.[3] Vegetable thenthuk is a common modern-day option too.
