I'll never forget eating Burmese cuisine for the first time - I was instantly in love! One of my mother's co-workers had a close friend who made and sold Burmese food. Nearly every week mymom bought more, it was so divine!
So this Friday lunch was a real treat. The menu included Mohinga, noodle salad, Kyuak Kyaw, and milk tea. Mohinga is a staple aspect of Burmese cuisine. It is a soup that is even often eaten at breakfast time. The Burmese noodle salad was a big hit! So big, it is the chosen recipe to feature in this blog post.
Kyuak kyaw is a coconut jelly. Agar agar is an essential component in the dish that helps
it attain fun jelly-like consistency. To wash it all down, Burmese milk tea added a light sweetness and warmth.
Food builds relationships. Food tells stories. Friday lunch was a success again, thanks to Bethany and MAP teens. MAP is happy to learn and respect all niches of the world (especially through food - yum!)
Now go verify the divinity of that noodle salad.
