About This Dish
A beloved Myanmar breakfast duo consisting of tender, steamed yellow peas (Pe Pyoke) served alongside freshly baked, naan-style flatbread (Nan Pya). The peas are often seasoned with a dash of oil and salt, creating a hearty, savory start to the day that perfectly balances the soft, chewy texture of the bread.
The sound of the "Pe Pyoke" vendor calling out in the early morning is a nostalgic part of Myanmar life. Historically, Nan Pya is baked in traditional clay ovens (tandoors), and the combination represents a fusion of culinary influences that have become a staple of local tea shop culture.
How to Eat This Properly
Tear off a piece of the warm Nan Pya and use it to scoop up a generous portion of the seasoned Pe Pyoke. Many locals enjoy drizzling a bit of raw peanut oil over the peas and adding a pinch of salt. It is best paired with a cup of hot Myanmar sweet tea.
Ingredients
Where to Find It
Available at almost every local tea shop and morning street market throughout Myanmar. It is most popular from 5:30am to 9:00am when the Nan Pya is pulled fresh from the oven.
