Contexte culturel
In the south, 'ащы бұрыш' is almost always on the table. It reflects the influence of the Silk Road and neighboring Uzbek culture. Uighur cuisine, very popular in Kazakhstan, uses 'ащы бұрыш' to make 'lazjan'—a condiment of pepper and hot oil. Many Kazakh elders believe that 'ащы бұрыш' can cure a cold or improve digestion after eating heavy meat. With the rise of Korean 'K-food' in Almaty, 'ащы бұрыш' is now associated with trendy, spicy ramen and kimchi.
