Food culture in Myanmar
Myanmar food culture 2009-08-20 Burmese people like to eat coconut milk rice and glutinous rice with turmeric powder, shredded coconut and shrimp; Every meal must eat a kind of fish and shrimp sauce called Biya; Curry is a popular dish. Kachins in Myanmar likes to eat animal meat. They are used to baking food with fire, sprinkling salt on it and tearing it with their hands. Karen people in Myanmar, regardless of gender, age and age, all smoke pipes. Wine column is a daily necessity, and people should entertain themselves with wine at any ceremony. Burmese people generally like to eat western food in the morning and Chinese food in the afternoon and evening. There are condiments like Chili oil and Chili sauce on the dining table. They are used to eating with spoons and soup plates, but not with bowls. The "tool" for eating is the right hand, so it is dexterous and convenient to grasp and take food. They are happy to have dinner together after dinner. The eating habits of Burmese people have the following characteristics:

1 Note: Pay attention to the rich dishes and the small amount of dishes.

② Taste: Generally, the taste is not salty, but sweet, sour and spicy.

③ Staple food: rice is the main food, and I am also interested in jiaozi, steamed dumplings, pies, scones and steamed dumplings.

Non-staple food: like to eat chicken, fish, shrimp, duck, eggs and various vegetables; Seasoning love ketchup, shrimp soy sauce, Chili oil, Chili sauce, curry powder.

⑤ Method: Preference is given to dishes made by roasting, frying, frying, roasting, sauce and mixing.

Chinese food: I like Sichuan food in China.

⑦ Recipe: I really appreciate the big platter, vegetarian chicken, Geely fish sticks, sliced duck with ginger buds, fried prawns, fried crispy chicken, bangbang chicken, milk rape, fried plate shrimp and other flavor dishes.

Water wine: I like to drink beer, soda water, orange water and so on. After dinner, I have the habit of drinking coffee or hot tea, but I like to drink tea with strange taste (that is, tea mixed with soybean powder, shrimp skin, shrimp paste, onion powder, fried pepper seeds, etc. Stir and brew into strange tea).

9 Fruits: I like bananas, coconuts, mangoes, papaya, oranges, pineapples and other fruits; Dried fruits like walnuts. Due to the ethnic diversity in Yangon, Yangon's catering has all-encompassing characteristics, especially the Shan, Myanmar, China and Indian ethnic groups. The essence of local food includes fish, meat and vegetables cooked in curry and gourd soup. Burmese cuisine is characterized by more salty oil and less spicy.

Crispy fried vegetarian dishes: cut fenugreek melon and bean sprouts into pieces and fry them in oil pan until cooked. The former is very refreshing when fried; Bean sprouts win with crispy mouth, dipped in their own hot sauce, sweet and sour and fragrant.

Tea salad: Myanmar salads do not have salad dressing, but use fragrant tea to enhance fragrance. Shredded vegetables, dried shrimps, Myanmar pearl beans (peanuts) and broad beans are all good accompaniment wine or tea.

Fish powder soup: remove the meat from the fish, season with citronella and ginger to remove the commonly known "muddy smell", and then cook the soup with fried cowpeas. Rice noodles not only have the delicious taste of fish soup, but also have delicious banana tree cores as side dishes, which are fried. The bottom of the fish soup is too thick to melt.

Curry crab: mainly flavored with curry powder, mixed with foreign countries? In order to enhance the flavor, the spicy degree can be reduced with the increase of taste, and the meat crab is rich and fragrant.

Burmese prawns: prawns shipped from Myanmar are famous for their mushiness. They are cooked with ginger oil, garlic and curry powder. Coriander is very fragrant, long and tender, and it tastes like lobster meat.
