The Tibet Autonomous Region is also known for some special food as well. Besides things like beef, lamb, and salted butter tea, the region has another favorite called "Zanba". Now, let's take a look at this traditional staple.

Peter Ho plays the leading role in the film "Once Upon a Time in Tibet". Perhaps you can recognize this scene. But can you identify the food he is eating? It's called "Zanba".

"Zanba" is the staple food of the Tibetan people. It's a kind of dough made with roasted highland "Qingke" barley flour and yak butter. To make it, you grind the roasted highland barley into flour and mix it with ghee.

When traveling, Zanba is brought along as a readymade meal. And the salted butter tea is an indispensable Zanba companion. Now, with the development of the Tibet Autonomous Region, Zanba has become the traditional food made to welcome visitors. Meanwhile, Zanba, like many other traditional foods there, has been innovated to provide a variety of choices. But the traditional way is still the local favorite.

If you have the chance to visit the Tibet Autonomous Region, don't forget to taste its famous traditional food "Zanba".
