The Sherpa cook brought it out in a battered metal bowl piled higher than the rim, clear chicken broth, hand-torn noodles, julienned cabbage and carrot, a few pieces of chicken, and a scatter of fried garlic and cilantro on top. We ate it in silence with the snow falling outside, and I have been chasing that exact bowl ever since.</p>
