Mont-hin-gah, rice noodles in gravy, is the most popular Myanmar snack. It can be taken as a snack as well as a full meal. To make mont-hin-gah gravy, a variety of ingredients are required but the main ingredients are flash, sliced pith of banana stem, roasted rice flour, roasted pea flour, lemon grass, ginger, onions, garlic, eggs and good quality fish sauce. Roasted rice flour and roasted pea flour thicken the mont-hin-gah gravy whereas lemon grass and ginger give a zesty flavor to it.
Many like to have mont-hin-gah with a variety of fritters such as gourd fritters(bu-thee-gyaw), pea fritters(pe-gyaw) and deep-fried twisted dough sticks (I-kyar-kwel). Some people like to eat mont—hin-gah with coriander leaves, a dash of lime juice and roasted chilli powder. Shops selling mont-hin-gah can be found in any city, town and village in our country. In most alms-giving ceremonies, mont-hin-gah is almost always a must simply because it is a preference of both hosts and guests.
