Bihus

Bihus are a type of traditional Romanian noodle dish. They are typically made from unleavened dough, often containing flour, eggs, and water, which is then cut into thin strips. The noodles are usually boiled and served with various toppings and sauces.

A common preparation involves serving bihus with grated cheese, often telemea, and a dollop of sour cream. Another popular variation includes sautéed butter and breadcrumbs, which provide a crispy texture. Some recipes also incorporate a touch of sugar or cinnamon for a sweeter profile, making them suitable as a dessert or a sweet breakfast.

The simplicity of bihus makes them a versatile dish that can be adapted to different tastes and occasions. They are often prepared in households across Romania and can be found in traditional restaurants. The exact ingredients and preparation methods can vary slightly from region to region within Romania, reflecting local culinary traditions. Bihus are generally considered a comforting and economical meal.
