Mohinga, (Mohingar) is considered to be Myanmar's National dish. It is basically a fish broth with noodles, served with various accompaniments. It is traditionally eaten for breakfast although  it can be (and is)  eaten at any time of the day or night. Such is its popularity, that most urban centres throughout  the country have vendors who sell it ready made.

Of course, being such a common dish, as one might expect there are many variations in the cooking. So much so, that many of the vendors display a sign showing the chef's name and the area from where they come thus indicating the  style of Mohinga being served. However, the basics remain the same - fish, stock and fine noodles served with a variety of garnishes such as boiled eggs, gourd-fritters, boiled or raw shredded green beans, fried onion and garlic and coriander leaves, though not necessarily all together. Most Myanmar's are content with just  three or four of them , but especially boiled egg and gourd-fritters.

The recipe can be quite complicated, but the ones featured here are a little more simple, despite the long list of ingredients!

Happy Cooking!
