Uzbek Student Food Breakfast
This Uzbek student food is actually an improvised recipe. My Uzbek husband made it up when he was a student and made ends meet. Like many students, he had to be cautious of his expenditure and needed ingredients that would be fulfilling with a long life span.The best thing about this recipe is, despite many Uzbek students cooking it, it's actually still completely made up. So, you can add or take away whatever you want.As funny as it may seem, we have actually gotten used to this mishmash breakfast now lol, we are not students or broke but we still make sure to enjoy it every once in a while and maybe you should too!
