Home cooking attempt — Laphet Thohk from scratch

I spent an afternoon making Laphet Thohk from scratch following a traditional recipe. Getting lemongrass right was the main challenge — it's not as straightforward as it looks. The warming with turmeric result was rewarding once I got it right.

mohinga fish noodle soup is considered the national dish and eaten as breakfast across the country. I served it with Myanmar Beer as the recipe suggested and the pairing made sense. It took longer than I expected but the outcome was genuinely satisfying. Making Laphet Thohk yourself gives you a new appreciation for what goes into it at a restaurant.
