Description

This Mandalay Nangyi is a refreshing and aromatic dish that highlights the delicate balance of savory, tangy, and spicy flavors. The tender Cornish game hen is simmered with ginger, garlic, and turmeric, creating a rich, golden broth that infuses the thick rice noodles with depth. It is a perfect weeknight meal that feels special yet requires minimal effort. Serve it warm or at room temperature for a satisfying lunch or dinner that brings the zest of Myanmar cuisine to your table.

Ingredients

Directions

  1. Cut the Cornish game hen into 4 pieces, discarding the giblets if desired.
  2. In a large pot, heat the corn or peanut oil over medium heat.
  3. Add the chopped onion, fine-chopped ginger, garlic, ground turmeric, and paprika. Saut&# 195;© for 2-3 minutes until fragrant.
  4. Add the chicken pieces to the pot and brown lightly on all sides.
  5. Stir in the chopped tomato, water, fish sauce, and salt.
  6. Bring the mixture to a boil, then reduce heat to low, cover, and simmer for 20-25 minutes until the chicken is cooked through.
  7. Meanwhile, cook the thick rice noodles according to package instructions. Drain and rinse with cold water.
  8. Add the drained noodles to the pot with the chicken and broth. Toss gently to combine and heat through for 2-3 minutes.

Note

For a vegan version, omit the fish sauce and use soy sauce or tamari instead. Replace chicken with firm tofu or mushrooms.

Leftovers can be stored in an airtight container in the refrigerator for up to 3 days. Reheat gently with a splash of water to restore moisture.

Adjust the fish sauce to taste; it provides a distinct umami flavor essential to this dish.
