What the monks of Muli have for lunch

muli lunch, originally uploaded by mutikonka1.

I was quite surprised to find that the monks of Muli ate so well. I imagined their diet would be the usual butter tea and yak cheese fare, but this was the lunch tray served up in their refectory.

It is a vegetarian platter and seemed very similar to the Korean dishes I have eaten: lots of pickled vegetables, [some quite spicy like kim chi] and most delicious!
