I recently had a wonderful interaction with a Burmese food lover over a photo I had posted on facebook of the famous Burmese Mont Lin Ma Yar. These delicious street corner snacks are a real treat, I wish I could get them on the corner downtown Vancouver, BC! She kindly translated the recipe for me from her favorite Burmese recipe site and so I am posting it here for future reference:

The Rendering of Chicken or Goose Fat to Create Delicious Cracklings.
A real old fashioned traditional recipe from Jewish Cookery by Leah W. Leonard
- Cut fatty fowl skin and other fat clusters into 1-inch cubes or strips
- Cover with cold water
- Cook in a heavy kettle or frying pan, covered for 20 to 25 minutes
- Uncover and continue cooking over reduced heat until the water has evaporated and only the melted or cooked fat and cracklings remain
- Add diced onions, allowing one onion to each cupful of unrendered fat
- Add a clove of garlic for flavor
Method
When rendering a large quantity of fat, the addition of a few slices of raw potato will help clarify it.

serves 2
- 3/4 c organic popping corn
- 1/4 c oil
Method:
Allow oil to heat. Add two or three kernels of corn and cover. When the kernels pop, add the rest of the corn to the pot. The pot should be heavy bottomed and medium sized. Keep the cover on, don’t peek.
When the corn begins to pop, turn the heat down slightly and shake the pot occasionally. When the sound of popping dies, turn the popped corn out into a bowl.
Melt:
- 1/2 c sweet unsalted butter
Pour it over the pop-corn in stages:
- Sprinkle with salt, cumin and hot chili
- Mix together
- Add more pop-corn
- Drizzle with more melted butter
- Add more seasonings if desired
Excellent for a movie with a tall cold glass of kombucha.
