If you have made Burmese Chickpea Tofu, Fried Chickpea Tofu to make is a piece of cake. But If you haven’t created Chickpea Tofu yet, please check out the recipe and have Chickpea Tofu ready to fry. If you need Chickpea Flour, please order from here. Raw Chickpea flour and Roasted Chickpea flour are stapled kitchen ingredients in Burmese households. So, we will have all the essential elements to make Burmese Vegan meals in our shopyou can easily order from us, and we will ship your ingredients with love and special care.

You can side your fried tofu with Chillies Oil for the sauce and dipping, which should be another essential ingredient in households. You can mix soy sauce, vinegar, and roasted white sesame for another sauce. I will list everything you would need to enjoy your Fried Chickpea Tofu.

I fry the Pan-Fried version with little oil on a marble/granite coating pan as a note about frying. You can use your air-fryer if you are used to it. Traditionally, Burmese people also do a deep-fried version with lots of oil in a wok. You can try any option based on your preference. Pan-fried ones come out a little soft inside with firm in the outer layer. Deep-fried ones come out more crispy.

Lentils are essential food for Burmese households just like chickpeas. We love to make soups and curries with them. We cook different styles of soups and curries with them also.

We mainly use red and yellow Lentils. We use Lentils so widely that we even introduce them to our babies when they start solid food under 12 months old time. But we would cook it regularly to our elders at homes as well. Because Lentils are one of the superfoods for everyone and this should be your go-to food when you are vegan.

San Byoke is Burmese rice porridge which is like Chinese congee. We eat it as comfort food on under the weather days. We also have this on winter cold days or in the night market in China Town and in some upper part of Burma as local daily food. According to my birth family, we always have this either on Sweet December Day or Christmas Day or on New Year Eve day. Recalling this family tradition, I realized how my family and relatives consider this food as our family comfort food and we perceive it as celebration food on a family occasion. Local people eat this food when they are not feeling well. For our family, this is one of our happy meals.

Sometimes, people cook this with overnight leftover rice which shortens the cooking time. And sometimes they just boil short-grain raw rice with a 1:2 ration of rice: water and cook a long time in the slow cooker. My tips would be to blend 2/3 of rice in a blender ahead of cooking to speed up your cooking time if you do have not much time to spend cooking. No matter what, the main point is to break down the rice to be a thick and smooth consistency of rice soup.

You can also serve your San Byoke with crispy onion oil or garlic oil to add flavor and color to your meal. And consider chilies oil if you are a fan of spicy flavor. Some people like to eat with fried dough or other fritters as well. I like to top with garnish like spring onion and parsley. My relatives love it with Shan mustard pickles.

Trio Stew is a very healthy and heart-warming meal you can have for your body and mind. You would feel pleased in the soul with sweetness from the combo of Pumpkin, Carrot, and Potato. Their colors alone would charm you, their flavors would warm your heart, and the whole meal would boost your health.

The perfect meal when you are on the whole-food or clean or low-calorie diet. Still, this is a healthy meal even when you are not on any diet and not on any fitness goal. Just simply a healthy and lovely meal for everyone.

Perfect to pair with sourdough bread or wholewheat bread. But still lovely to serve on top of rice or with rice as well.

I don’t know why but 80% of Burmese food has Tumeric as an ingredient. Burmese like to put Tumeric in everything they cook to flavor and add that heart-warming color in dishes. It also smells better when heated with oil and other ingredients. I can’t complain as we all know Tumeric has so many health benefits for us. Yes, a lot of traditional Burmese medicine also uses Tumeric as an ingredient.

I love Tumeric rice and I cook at home often. But it is not something we would consider traditional food surprisingly in the love affair of Burmese and Tumeric. I normally cook Tumeric rice with rice cooker but I also use this way as this technique gives a more golden color to the rice and is denser with a Tumeric aroma.

This is my most favorite noodles type. It is unique as fermented rice noodles, it takes time to make, made from rice starch, fermented, created it to be thin, beautiful elastic noodles with nutty and tangy flavors. Most people know that as Thai noodles, but it is originally from Mon and Rakhine ethnic groups from Burma if you research along with the history. We called it, Mont Di.

 

Burmese serve Mont Di in 2 forms traditionally, in soup and as a salad. Rakhine people would serve it spicy with chilies and fermented fish paste traditionally. For us, vegan version, we can use soy sauce and light mushroom sauce as our main ingredients to flavor this Mondi in both soup and salad versions.

 

People from other parts of Burma, we serve this Mont Di salad with different and many ingredients mainly all-vegan such as crispy tofu, fresh cabbage, onion, peanuts, crispy shallots, crispy beans fritters, parsley, and so on.

 

Following is my version, but no matter what Burmese version, you have to have roasted chickpea powder, garlic oil, onion oil to make amazing Burmese salads.
