Ngapi Yay is a fundamental element of Burmese dining. This pungent, umami packed dip is made from fermented fish paste, often mixed with lime juice, chilies, and garlic.
It’s typically served with an array of fresh or blanched vegetables like cucumbers, long beans, and eggplant. The deep, salty intensity of the dip contrasts beautifully with the crisp freshness of the vegetables, making it a staple at family meals.
It embodies the essence of Myanmar’s coastal flavours and is essential for anyone wanting to experience authentic Burmese cuisine.
