The national course of Burma, moh hin gha
would be to the Burmese exactly what onion soups would be to the French.
Bowls of moh hin gha undoubtedly are a favorite goody available by the
roadside stalls and also simply by sellers who carry their food
preparation gadgets from home to home using a bamboo pole slung over 1
shoulder. At 1 end will be the compact fireplace although on the other
side are all of the makings.
This particular one-course meal is frequently done while engaging big
numbers of people. Absolutely no outdoor marketplace event or
celebration is total with out the moh hin gha vendors. The rice
vermicelli used in the cooking is made fresh every day using slightly
fermented rice flour. Few housewives cook it themselves however it can
be purchased fresh from the moh sellers ('moh' will be the word meaning
flour and everything is produced by using wheat or even rice flour).
Chinese rice vermicelli or Italian fine vermicelli could be utilized as
an alternative.
Although the basic of the cuisine is really a fish soup curry, a crucial
ingredient will be the soft heart of the banana tree - a really typical
ingredient in Burma. In the event you have accessibility to a banana
tree and therefore are driven to create this dish in exact Burmese
style, guard both hands by wearing hand protection gloves and wear your
oldest cloths or rags,, simply because the sap from the banana tree
leaves a mark that defies the very best stain removers scientific
research has to provide. Remove the external layers and throw away.
Slice the inside part in thin crossways pieces. Dip in a big container
of salted water for several hours. The sticky juice creates impressively
strong hair-like strands. Pull these away and dispose of.
