Si htamin

Si htamin is a traditional dish originating from Myanmar (Burma). The dish is usually made with a combination of glutinous rice, thinly sliced onions, turmeric, oil, and salt. The onions are sautéed in oil, sprinkled with turmeric, and removed from the pan. The glutinous rice is washed, drained, added to the remaining oil in the pan, sprinkled with salt, stirred, covered with water, and cooked over low heat. Once fully cooked, the rice is garnished with a mixture of fried onions and turmeric, which gives it a golden hue. The dish is usually served as a snack or breakfast, and it's often paired with peas or dried fish or prawns.
