Known best for its refreshingly sour, hot, tangy and salty flavours, Burmese cuisine reflects its geographical position at the crossroads of China, India and Thailand and yet is distinctly and uniquely Burmese. This class is a great introduction to the little known cuisine of Burma will teach you some delicious new recipes that are surprisingly easy to prepare.

We’ll learn about some typical Burmese ingredients such as fresh turmeric, dried shrimp, balachaung, and toasted gram flour and make some characteristically tart, crunchy salads and tangy curries. We’ll finish our evening by making ‘Lephet-Thoke’ – a traditional Burmese salad of pickled tea leaves that is eaten at the end of a meal.

Some of the dishes we’ll learn include:

Fish Cake Salad with Lime Juice and Herbs
Ginger and Lemon Salad with Roasted Peanuts
Twice-cooked Snapper Curry with Fresh Turmeric and Bamboo Shoots
Hand-mixed Burmese Rice with Tamarind
