What is a salad? According to the dictionary, it's a mixture of anything served cold with a sauce. In Myanmar, it means something else entirely. Burmese Athoke, or salads, are a massive category that shines a spotlight on each local flavor or ingredient. Everything gets its own salad- fruits, vegetables, leftover curries, deep-fried street snacks, even sauces and condiments. The goal is to make the main character stand out by adding in the right mix of tastes and textures; enhancing the star of the show without overshadowing the key component. It's a revolutionary approach and an incredible way to explore the entire cuisine, and the meaning of food itself- and that's exactly what we are going to do.
