Tea Leaf Salad is Myanmar's #1 popular salad (A Thoke | အသုပ်) that is enjoyed in so many ways - as a "pick-me-up" snack, as a meal on top of rice or mixed with rice, or as a savory treat after a meal. It is also an essential pantry item in a Myanmar Home and typically served with hot green tea.
Lahpet = လက်ဖက် = Tea Leaf
A Thoke = အသုပ် = To Mix = Salad
The pickled tea leaves alone has a little bitter taste with a subtle sweet lingering finish.
The assorted beans, peanuts, sesame seeds, tomatoes, cabbage, and dried shrimp powder softens the bitter taste as well as provide tons of crunch and texture.
