Pe Byok

Myanmar teahouse food — simple, cheap and deeply satisfying. Open from early morning to late night, serving tea, snacks and conversation.

Burmese boiled bean salad — yellow split peas boiled until just tender, dressed with onion, dried shrimp, lime and chilli oil. A simple snack eaten at teashops throughout Myanmar.

Ingredients

Method

The peas must be cooked until just tender — not mushy. They should hold their shape.
