This noodle soup is considered the Burmese national dish and is eaten for breakfast, lunch and dinner. Not surprisingly every family has their own variation and this is my family’s recipe.
This salad is wonderfully intense, not only from the aromatic crispy garlic and fresh coriander, but also because the roasted eggplants give it a distinctive smoky flavor.
Curry in Burmese is sipyan which literally means ‘oil returns’, a sign when the gravy is ready. This is a basic chicken curry recipe that is a staple in our house.
