Description Hoen-tey is a special Haa Valley dish that is usually prepared during Lomba celebrations (indigenous New Year), which are held on the 29th day of the 10th month. Normally, the ingredients for Hoen-tey are prepared and cooked on the evening of the 28th day. When Hoen-tey needs to be made in large quantities, it is prepared either on the 26th, 27th or 28th day, and on the 29th day it is cooked. Long ago, Hoen-tey was only made on Lomba or specially to celebrate Lomba. Nowadays, however, it is prepared all year round. To prepare Hoen-tey, you need the following basic ingredients. ● Buckwheat flour ● A bunch of beet leaves ● Turnips ● Local butter ● Fermented local cheese ● Ginger ● Clove of garlic ● Wild black pepper ● Chili powder ● Walnut (optional) ● A few stalks of green onion ● Salt
