Pot-Bellied Pig Cooked TEN Ways!!! Myanmar's Unknown Mountain Food!!

The next thing I'm going to reveal is here, in this treasure chest made of bamboo, a meal you won't believe. This is today. Our best Myanmar

food

tour continues in Pindaya, home of the new people. Here we are getting a close look at rural life in Myanmar some completely unexpected market

food

s cowskin oil want to try something for a large scale rural celebration? It is an epic festival for all ages where an entire village works together to create a unique celebration - an unforgettable eating party in these

mountain

s Kongou market is the epicenter of the hustle and bustle once a week for almost a century local tribes have exchanged products, foods and culture inside there is ready-to-eat food that has been seen or tasted by some outsiders before welcome to the combined market today we will do it all soon we will join a local family for an epic feast, part of which I think we will have to hunt ourselves, so before we do I need to stock up on carbs and other local foods here at the market, come on here, this is an egg lady, she has had to transport all her eggs to market and how else would you do that except put a big box with the eggs in there and then in the middle put all these rice husks so they don't break.

It's not exotic or crazy, but it's cute. Next, I think if you shop here, you will find the standard market food, vegetables, fruits, proteins, but you will also find displays that contain unique

mountain

ous products. like local grasses, flowers and ants, wait what ants we saw in our last video, how the ants were extracted from the tree and you can see it's not something unusual here, why don't they have ants in the US? Can we order from Whole Foods? We are organic with high protein content. Look at this. Alright. We need the same gloves that will be perfect.

So here I think this is like a donut. May I try it on? These bad boys are a deep-fried mixture of glutinous rice and rice flour sprinkled with jaggery. syrup basically like molasses I tried it It was really good it's completely saturated when you bite into it it's like a sponge it releases more thick and sweet molasses which is pure sugar somehow it's not a big deal for people here, they walk a lot they are getting a lot of daily movement for me this could be a problem um young cow, yes, she says ah, I know I made that here they have a lot of beef parts, skin and here beef skin salad, could I have one of?

These please have cow skin here and have been colored with turmeric, coriander and a little bit of crushed peanuts. Do you want to try some? Oh, the texture hits you right away, but the fat chews up a little and is tasty. a little bit of peanuts and then a little bit of fresh cilantro, it's everywhere, whereas for salads, my doctor told me that I should eat more salad when I think this is exactly what he meant, um, JG Bob, this is a local specialty of turmeric rice, when was the last time? You haven't had it since you were a child.

I bet I think they cook the rice with turmeric because when they take it out of the cooler it's already yellow and then they hit it with scallion fish flakes and a little chili oil. It's white over here. They're like boy, we have to put some rice with our rice, this is like puffed rice, so it'll add a little texture, take a spoonful, it'll guide you through every step, foot in mouth, well, that's really good , puffed rice offers a welcome crunch. low fat, savoring great texture, but that's just a nice energizing morning treat to start your day with chive roots.

I hadn't seen it anywhere in my life until I came here and I al

ways

see it everywhere mmm oh that's good. combo these people know how to make a breakfast final breakfast I swear we came to a noodle shop here they have flat noodles with tofu paste if you're wondering what else is there, well literally for me it all starts with a pot of homemade broth, then a handful of cabbage and flat noodles, this joins forces with tofu paste, curry chicken, thick sweet soy sauce, monosodium glutamate, salt, regular soy sauce, garlic oil, crushed peanuts and scallions, that's a Lots of stuff, the first thing you should do is mix it in there.

There are layers of flavor here, football, there we go, mmm, that's some thick, addictive party noodle and crazy thick sauce, it all has a fresh, tasty taste and a little E message, which I like, There are many who hate messages, guys. It won't kill you unless you're allergic to it, but just don't eat things you're allergic to in small amounts. I think MSG is fine. You know, it's like cigarettes or methamphetamine. Don't do a lot of meth. Do a little. a little meta, that's all, you guys take your own noodles, leave me alone with my half-hole belly.

I am ready to join the humble people of your village. We are on our way to a village. Now we have reached a village. home here and they said we're eating pork, that's great, I love pork, where's the pork? and they said right here, after hearing that I ate for breakfast, the locals lost all hope of me catching anything and caught the pig themselves because of the way this pig is eating tea leaves, he probably says: "My God, "I never get the tea leaves, best day ever, this is great, why did they even let me do this." The den, the people are hardened by life in the mountains, their name comes from the word Donghae, which means brave archers in the past, they were brave warriors, but today they have exchanged the warning for the peaceful light of the countryside, living of the land and surrounded by forests.

Guys, welcome to what is really a shit job, so here we have the pig intestines and I al

ways

wonder. how they clean it here, it's literally filling the intestine with warm water, oh and it all comes out, anyway, they seem to rinse it off pretty well after this, they're going to boil it to make sure it's super clean. I leave you. I feel like I'm distracting you right now, bye, after the pork is processed, it is delivered to the main kitchen below. In this village there are almost 300 people living in 60 households, their income largely coming from cattle racing and tea cultivation. underway, this is a huge task, everyone in the town is collaborating right now.

We have all these pink parts and we're going to make several different dishes with them right here. What is this? It's like a reverse bomb. Meet our head chef, Mr. Cole yang Yang, a man with great culinary skills and even more fashionable, he is nice, so now we have pig's trotters here in the wok. These trotters are super meaty, so this will take us longer while we wait for the trotters I've been invited to join. join a tea picking party right now we're in this really great serene tea field here's a tea leaf plant oh it's a tea plant and we're just plucking the leaves.

I actually don't know much about tea. because I'm not a sober alcoholic, but those are the only people who drink tea, right? I'm trying to see if there is any pattern, how he does it, he's just grabbing random leaves, how do you know which one is a good leaf? Okay, what's up with this? Yeah, oh, I thought I showed you a bad one with that one. Yes, blue. Hey, get out of here. I do not want it. I think I accidentally planted a tree. Oh, bye, it must have run out of good leaves, yeah. It does not mean that after picking the tea, the leaves are boiled to remove the bitterness and then topped with lemon juice along with tomatoes and green chilies mixed with fried beans, peanuts, cabbage and a touch of peanut oil.

This is the woman behind the tea salad miss ma su, remember this guy is your husband. Wow, we have a whole family going on here. This is unique as all other parts of the country will pickle the tea leaves first. Here the only thing they do is boil them. and then BOOM, I'm going to try it right now mm-hmm I don't eat a lot of salads on my show unless they're made from animal skin, but I can make an exception here, this is a very good salad. It doesn't taste like tea or for some reason I thought it would taste like teeth, it just tastes like normal vegetables.

I love it. Before we saw the extraction of the intestine. Now they have been moved here to the kitchen and will eventually be

cooked

inside. bamboo works is this all, you always cook your intestines, he says you can usually get them in bamboo or as a clay pot on your favorites list, what number do we get to with intestine nine nine? I mean, are we even doing nine? dishes, that's probably the last place Oh guys, look, there's so much action going on here we've got the guy blowing on the fire we've got this guy making a nice mix boiling bamboo skewers are roasting here's a whole face of a pig looking at me , guys, what we are doing, we only have one last preview left before the meal begins.

This is pig's blood that they boiled in a plastic bag so they know it's good for the environment. All this baked blood is being reused right now. the cake goes there a little salt sprinkled, that means cilantro on top super simple recipe Wow, that pork blood looks really good when I taste it right, it's delicious, super simple, it was super good, a little oil will fry it. up fresh cilantro I like it I think we're ready for a feast yes, let's do it, this meal is served. The villagers begin to gather as I join my host family for our meal.

A dear son. Three children. Wow, you're a busy guy with kids. They require a lot of attention, that's what I mean, but it's pork, okay, this is a pig face salad, this salad, a word they use pretty loosely in these parts, starts by cooking a whole pig's head for two hours and then he cuts it, he cuts it, he throws it away in some secret. Pork sauce and bam face salad, let me try it well. I mean, it's super heavy, it's pure fat, let's give it some flavor, man, that's great. Hello young cow, that means delicious.

Wow, what to look at after cutting out the intestines. re-placed inside a bamboo pot with chopped garlic MsChif mashed tomatoes and cilantro cooking inside the bamboo until the flavors start to dance together your eyes in mine smells super fresh now the tables have turned all these people are just Seeing the intestine I was there for the dirty business I'm going to try it, okay, that's great, no, it crushed it.
