Another popular Shan food is "Htaminchin" which translates as "sour rice". It is boiled rice kneaded with either fish or pork. I was hoping you would have included that in your presentation.Anyway this is a great programme.

I think the name is quite appropriate as it is made from chickpea and kind like a thick soup. The original name is "Tofu Nway" which is literally translated as "warm tofu"(This is what I understand. I do hope it is not in Shan language). If you cool down the thicken liquid and let it set for sometimes, the chickpea liquid will set it to very nice chickpea tofu. Chickpea tofu is yellow tofu and very nice if you fry or make a salad. Yummm.
So there you have your tofu. It is the soup. :). Enjoy!

Tofu Nway - direct translation to English is misleading. The whole world recognise Tofu is from Soya bean.
I think it should be called Chickpea gravy noodle or stick to the original name tofu nway. Again, It is not a soup at all. I dont know who translated irrelavantly
How you guys think"

It was hinted at on the show. Cook the chickpea mix to a thicker consistency, and then spread it out on trays and leave overnight. It will solidify. Cut this into peices, deep fry them and then add the resulting tofu to the soup. Or just have with a dipping sauce. Or slice, without further cooking, and make a salad with similar flavourings. Yellow split peas can be used for the same dish, following a simliar recipe.

Hot Tips
Chopping an onion
Cut the onion it in half across the base (leaving a portion of root on each half - this will help keep the onion together while slicing), peel the onion and place cut side down. Make multiple cuts long ways from top to bottom but not through the root at the end. The more cuts, the finer the dice.
Glossary
Papaya
Also known as Pawpaw. The word is often used to refer to the red-coloured, sweeter pawpaw from Thailand.
