Noodle Attho / Burmese Noodle Salad
Attho is basically a mixture, it could be made of rice, noodle etc. I really like the freshness in Burmese cuisine, since so many fresh ingredients are used, it gives the dish a refreshing taste and is good for a quick snack or a meal. Since most of the ingredients are in our pantry, all it comes to, is mixing them together. This dish can be served with soup (tomato or vegetable) as some people might think it is too dry. Since it gets really hot in summer, this dish might be a good option to cook and eat.
