Pone Yay Gyi with Garlic and Shallot

This mix of fermented pone yay gyi bean paste with fresh and fried garlic and shallot, plus a generous glug of flavoured oil, is so simple it hardly qualifies as a recipe. Quantities are vague because you should combine the ingredients to taste. All of the ingredients aren't necessary; pone yay gyi mixed with fresh shallot and plenty of oil is also delicious. If you live in the UK you can order it from the online Burmese supermarket Mum's House.

Ingredients

  • 1-2 packets pone yay gyi
  • Fried garlic
  • Fried shallot
  • A few thin slivers fresh garlic
  • Thinly sliced fresh shallot
  • Fresh chillies
  • Peanut sesame, shallot, and/or garlic oil

Instructions

  • Mix the pone yay gyi paste with fresh/fried garlic, fresh shallot, chillies, and some oil. Top with more oil and fried shallots, if desired. Serve with jasmine rice.

Notes

You can make your own fried shallot and fried garlic.
