Achievement Unlocked - Mohinga

Achievement unlocked- learnt to make Mohinga. This Burmese staple, which I really loved from a trip to Yangon, starts with whole seabass boiled with slices of ginger and turmeric, then the fish meat is cleaned off to be fried with bowlfuls of aromatics, while the carcass is blended and sieved. Truly nose-to-tail. These are added to boiled, ground chickpea, banana stem and red bean pudding to make an unctuous, flavourful soup. Served with rice noodles, raw long beans, hard-boiled eggs, red onion, kalamansi, cilantro, mint, fresh-fried garlic chips and chickpea fritters.
