Pickled tea leaves salad (လက္ဖက္သုပ္)

Hello guys,

We arrange this program to share our Myanmar traditional food especially for those who are away, who love food and who are interested in our food .

Although I am not pro,I do want to write about our traditional food based on my recipe , ( the easiest and simplest one ) .It may be the same or different how you cook . Sometimes, it's monotonous to eat the same style all the times. Why not try a change? A change is as good as a rest.

So, let's try a change . Hope it's so simple and easy to follow.

First of all, I would like to start this program with one of our famous traditional dessert called Laphet Thote or Pickled tea leaves salad .


Tea leaves come from Shan state that is located in eastern Myanmar.

The main ingredients in this salad are

1.Laphet or Pickled tea leaves
2.sesame seeds
3.fried broad beans
4.fried garlics
5.roasted peanuts
6.dried shrimps

Then put them into a bowl . Add slices of tomatoes , chilli and chopped cabbage. At last add some oil , salt and lemon juice and then mix them well. It's ready to be served after being placed on a plate. see image 1.



Or you can try this way. Place each group onto the plate or into separate segments and pour sesame or peanut oil into pickled tea leaves. Then scoop a little bit of each group with a small spoon. see image 2.




With regards,
