Tsampa

Some where around china there is a place called Tibet and their fast food in that country Is tsampa, roasted barley flour. In Tibet Tibetans make their own runny tsampa dish and this is how you can make some.
Ingredients:
Cheese
Sugar
Butter
Roasted barley flour
Black tea or hot water
Tsampa 

Step1: Put the black tea or hot water into a bowl, and drink about a third of the bowl.

Step2:While the tea is still hot you melt the butter in the tea. Then you add some tsampa.

Step3:On top of the pile of tsampa add some cheeses that has been made from dried milk curd.

Step4:It will then look like tiny gold brown pebbles. Last of all you add the sugar.

Step5:Then comes the tricky part. If your not used to it you may end up worth tsampa all over your knees. With your finger, you Press the tsampa down to bring all the tea and butter up around the flour.  Then slowly you work the mixture round and round until it's like biscuit dough.

Step6:Finally you break a piece off roll in up into a ball in the palm of your hands and pop it into your mouth. It's nutty, crunchy and sweet.
