Why Mohinga deserves more attention

Mohinga rarely gets the international recognition it deserves. The warming with turmeric complexity is genuine, not simple, and the technique involved in using dried shrimp correctly takes real skill.

laphet fermented tea leaf salad is a uniquely Burmese ingredient used in salads and as a stimulant snack. I encountered it first in a mohinga street stall at dawn and that context helped me understand it properly. toddy palm juice is the natural accompaniment and the combination makes the case for the dish. If you haven't explored this cuisine seriously, Mohinga is the dish to start with.
