周末大学好友一家来访。这次煮的是缅甸菜。

缅甸餐厅不多见，好几年前在三藩市的"Burma Superstar"吃过一次缅甸菜，我和老公都超喜欢，味道酸酸辣辣的，大概汇集了中国菜和印度菜的混血，还蛮和我们的口味。

Chicken Curry (Kyet Thar Sipyan)缅式咖喱鸡

缅甸咖喱不放椰奶呢。

Ingredients:

½ teaspoon ground turmeric;2 teaspoons curry powder;½ teaspoon salt;2 tablespoons fish sauce?

2 lb. chicken thighs (quartered)

2 medium onions;4 garlic cloves;1 tbsp ginger;1 teaspoon crushed dried chillies

1/2cup peanut oil?

½ teaspoon paprika;3 tomatoes (chopped);5 potatoes (chopped)?

400ml warm water 1 tablespoon fish sauce;1 stick of lemongrass (bruise)

Directions:

1. Mix the curry powder, turmeric, salt and fish sauce in a bowl. Add the chicken and toss in the marinade. Leave for 30 minutes while you make the onion paste.

2. Put the onion, garlic, ginger and dried chillies in a food processor. Mix to a coarse paste.

3. In a wok, heat the oil. Cook the onion paste over moderate heat for 15-20 minutes. It may seem like a lot of oil but it’s important not to skimp here. Keep a close eye and stir frequently. When the mixture has caramelized and turned reddish brown, add the paprika and stir until fragrant.

4.Add the chicken and turn up the heat stirring for another few minutes. Add the tomatoes and stir for a further 5 minutes. And 400ml of warm water, potatoes, 1 tbsp fish sauce and lemongrass, cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes, occasionally stirring the mixture until the meat is tender. It is ready when the gravy has reduced and the oil has returned.

Tamarind pork

当晚的明星！有点像中式的红烧肉吧，酸酸甜甜的，小朋友特别喜欢。

ingredients:

50g tamarind pulp;250ml hot water

2 large onions, quartered;4 garlic cloves, crushed;3 whole dried chillies, soaked in hot water?

1/2cup peanut oil?

¼ teaspoon ground turmeric;1 tablespoon shrimp paste?

700g pork, cut into 3cm chunks

Directions:

Prepare the tamarind first. Add the hot water to the tamarind and soak for a few minutes. Use a fork to mash up the pulp and strain through a sieve to remove any fibres.

Pound the onions, garlic and dried chillies until they resemble a rough paste.

Heat the oil in a saucepan and cook the onion paste for 15-20 minutes. When it has caramelized and turned reddish brown, add the turmeric and shrimp paste. Break up the shrimp paste and stir through the mixture.

Add the pork and cook over a moderate heat until any liquid that has come out of the pork has evaporated. Keep stirring to avoid burning the onions. Pour in the tamarind liquid and bring to the boil. Reduce the heat, cover and simmer for 45-60 minutes. Check at regular intervals to make sure the gravy has not dried out. Season with a little salt if you wish.

Mohinga soup鱼汤米线

这道菜是缅甸国菜，通常是早餐配米粉。我觉得还不错，就是香草味道太重了点。

http://www.hsaba.com/recipes/traditional-fish-noodle-soup

prepare the fish:

1 lb catfish fillet;1 lemon grass stalk, bruised;¼ teaspoon ground turmeric;500ml water

to make the onion paste:

1 large onion, chopped;3 cloves garlic;1cm fresh ginger;2 lemon grass stalks, white part only;3 whole dried chillies,soaked in hot water?

1 teaspoon shrimp paste;½ teaspoon paprika;½ teaspoon ground turmeric?

6 tablespoons peanut oil

to make the soup:

1.5 litres water;100g young banana stem, sliced;75g ground rice powder, roasted;3 tablespoons fish sauce;1 tsp ground black pepper

eat with:

500g fine rice noodles cooked;3 limes, halved;5 hard-boiled eggs, peeled & quartered;2 handfuls of fresh coriander, chopped;extra chili flakes

Put the fish in a large pan, add the water, lemon grass and turmeric. Bring to the boil and simmer for 6-10 minutes until the fish is just cooked. Remove the fish from the pan and when cool enough to handle, peel the skin and flake the flesh, discarding any bones. Drain the fish stock through a sieve and reserve for the soup.

Mix the onion, garlic, ginger, dried chillies and lemon grass into a paste.

Heat the oil in a saucepan and add the onion paste. Cook over moderate heat for 15-20 minutes until the paste is soft and caramelized. Add the shrimp paste, mash until incorporated, then mix in the turmeric and paprika. Cook for a further minute until the spices are fragrant before adding the flaked fish. Pop the lid on and cook for 10-15 minutes, allowing all the flavors from the onion paste to infuse into the fish.

To make the soup: put the soup paste, rice powder, water and the reserved fish stock in a large pan. Bring to a boil while stirring continuously to make sure the rice powder doesn’t clump. Add the banana stem and simmer for 20-30 minutes until they are tender. Add the fish sauce and black pepper.

To serve, put a handful of noodles in a bowl and ladle over the soup. Let everyone add the garnishes as they wish. It should taste spicy, salty and tangy from the limes.

Tea Leaf Salad茶叶沙拉

缅甸人不只喝茶，也吃茶叶。茶叶沙拉是用腌过的茶叶，混合各种香香脆脆的花生芝麻豆豆，口感丰富。自从在“Burma Superstar"吃过一次就念念不忘，总算可以自己山寨一把了。

1 package fermented tea leaf

1 head romaine lettuce

1 tomato

1/4 cup toasted sesame seeds

1/3 cup fried garlic

1/3 cup sunflower seeds, unsalted

1/2 cup roasted peanuts, unsalted

1 lemon

1 jalapeno (finely chopped)

Chop the romaine lettuce and layer it on a serving platter. Remove the seeds and dice the tomatoes and pile them on top of the lettuce. Pile each of the remaining ingredients on the salad and spoon about half of the tea leaf mixture in the middle, reserving the other half for later. Just before serving, squeeze the lemon wedges over the salad, and toss everything together well, be sure to evenly distribute the tea leaves.
