Ummar Sha - Fish paste, sauce and rice noodles

Baked-shrimp paste sprinkled with oil

As the saying goes, "If you don't teach me how to make fish paste, I won't even know how to make it." You can enjoy the taste better if you fry it in sesame oil rather than soybean oil.

Ingredient ratio

5 kyats of fish paste

3 tablespoons green fish paste

- Apply the fish paste to a moistened wooden board and press it gently with your hands.

- Make small indentations on the fish paste with your fingers.

- Grill the fish paste-coated wooden skewers upside down over a cool fire.

If the heat is too high, the fish paste will become too dry and will taste too sweet.

Be careful of breakage.

- When the fish paste has a golden color on its surface, becomes firm and fragrant, the woman is ready to bake the fish paste.

Remove and place in a bowl. Spread oil all over the surface.
