🥘Myanmar Mohinga soup, one of the 20 best soups in the world🥘
Hello my loving Asean Hive community,
Long time no see friend. Welcome back to my new post. It's been 2 years since I joined Hive. In the first year, I was able to focus well on Hive and give it a good amount of time. In the second year, I will not post every day like in the first year. Anyway, I have decided that starting today, I will invest my time in Hive. So I'm sure you will see my post every day for the next few days.
Today I will tell you about a very famous breakfast soup in Myanmar. The name of the breakfast soup I will tell you today is 'Mohinga'. Locals mainly eat Mohinga for breakfast and also as a snack. In the morning, Mohinga is available in tea shops and can easily be purchased.
The most important thing in Mohinga is soup. The taste of the whole mohinga depends on the recipe of that soup. Myanmar Mohinga is one of the 20 of the world's best soups. Many foreigners who visit Myanmar try this soup. The movie Chao Phraya to Irrawaddy (2022) also includes a bit of footage about Mohinga soup.
For breakfast today, I ordered Mohinga from a restaurant that opened near my clinic. This shop cooks Mohinga Yangon style. I will tell you the ingredients in the Mohinga that I ate today.
Ingredients-
- rice noodle
- onion
- fish cake
- fish
- egg
- banana stem
- Yellow Split Peas Fritters
- lime
- fish sauce
- Parsley
Mohinga soup is cooked by some locals using beans and some using fish. Cooking using beans is faster and cheaper. Cooking using fish takes longer and the price is a little higher. However, the Mohinga soup prepared using fish is more delicious and sweeter. And the locals often mix banana stem and onion in the soup.
I think the theme of this shop's food is cool. The rice noodle is mixed with Yellow Split Peas Fritters and fish cake. Yellow Split Peas Fritters and fish cakes soften easily in the soup. That's why the shop owner didn't mix it with the soup.
Some people don't like parsley and lime, so the shop owner puts those 2 kinds in a separate dish.
When I eat, I add rice noodle, parsley, lime Yellow Split Peas Fritters and fish cakes to the soup. How much do you think this Mohinga should cost? It's surprisingly cheap. It only cost 2500MMK. 2500MMK is equal to 1.19 $.
I had Mohinga and coffee for breakfast today. The taste of drinking coffee and eating Mohinga on a rainy day is awesome. That's it for today. Thank you very much for reading my post to the end. Bye Bye. See you next post. 🍇
