Mont di

Mont di is a collective term for Burmese dishes made with thin rice noodles. The vermicelli is used fresh, as it ferments quickly in Myanmar's tropical climate. There are a number of mont di dishes, and the Rakhine mont di of the Arakanese from western Myanmar is the most popular. Mandalay mont di is another well-known dish. A handful of regional rice vermicelli dishes, such as Mawlamyaing mohinga and Kengtung khao sen, are also interchangeably called "mont di." All the variants of mont di are often accompanied by Burmese fritters (အကြော်), of one's choice. Rakhine mont di (Burmese: ရခိုင်မုန့်တီ) is the most popular dish, closely associated with the Rakhine people. It is a semi-staple dish of Rakhine State. It comes in two forms: salad or soup.
