Myanmar · Mon New Year cold rice — An ownerless traditional dish, so no cook is credited. The cited article confirms Thingyan rice as a Mon dish served during Thingyan, the festival marking the Burmese New Year, and that Thingyan Htamin started with the Mon people in lower Burma. The cold-steeping rule, the jasmine safety note, the quantities and the side dishes are this book's own.

步骤

Cook the rice slightly firmer than usual and spread it on a tray to cool completely.
Steep the jasmine or pandan in the cold water for 30 minutes, then lift the flowers out and chill the water hard with the ice.
💡 Cold steeping, never hot. Heat pulls a green bitterness out of jasmine, while cold water takes only the scent.
Tip the cooled rice into the scented water and leave it 10 minutes, then drain it in a sieve.
Dress the shredded mango with the tamarind, palm sugar and salt.
Serve the rice in bowls with a ladle of the cold water poured over, and the mango, pickles, fried chilli, onion and sesame arranged around it.

💡 小贴士

It is eaten in April, when Yangon runs at 40°C and the whole country is soaked. Cold rice is not a sad meal there — it is the only sensible one.
Fried fish or a salted duck egg on the side turns it into a full meal, and that is how it is usually served. Left plain it stays vegan.
