Thingyan rice (သင်္ကြန်ထမင်း) is a traditional dish enjoyed during Thingyan, the Burmese New Year. Originally from the Mon people, this festive dish consists of rice soaked in water, giving it a refreshing and slightly cool texture. It is typically served with a salad made from cured salted fish, which is blanched and fried with onions, then paired with tangy slices of sour mango or marian plum. To enhance the flavor, the dish is garnished with roasted chili peppers, adding a hint of spice. Though its roots lie in Mon cuisine, Thingyan rice is now widely enjoyed across Lower Burma as a staple of the New Year celebration. #Myanmar #Burma #ThingyanRice
