This sounds so delicious. I can't use MSG as it really messes up my brain and is a neurotoxin, but as soon as we are off the GAPS diet I will try to make this again. I would love to see photos!

It is personal preference. Pour the mixture into "well oiled" pan in high heat until half full. Add boiled butter beans (chickpeas) and quail eggs (one egg per pan). When cooked, sprinkle with toasted smashed sesame seeds. (You will need to smash the seeds to get full flavor...if you don't have motor and pestal or food processor, you can use zip lock bag with a can to smash the seeds.) Flip over one into another to get "couple". It is very important that you will need to keep brushing oil into the pan so it doesn't stick. I can't say it's healthy food as you will need a lot of oil and MSG to get taste good. But having enjoyable snacks with a good friend of 15 years is priceless! Let me know if you want picture...I took a couple pics while she was making for me. Enjoy! This is recipe for boiled butter beans (chick peas?) from a family friend who made me breakfast when I visited him: by U Kyaw Than Soak overnight for 3 cups of butter beans (or chickpeas) (SWAD brand, Vatana White/white peas, product of Canada...you can get in most Asian/Latin grocery in US) in rice-cooker-cup, 1 teaspoon of baking soda, and 1/2 teaspoon of salt. Drain peas in the morning, boil them in low heat with only a little bit of water and keep them all evaporated, must cook 20 minutes. If not cooked well by then, increase the heat. Leave it on stove with heat off for about 15 min with the lid on. I forgot to mention that there are similar snacks in Thailand (Thai Coconut Pudding, "Khanom Krok") and Japan but I don't know the exact name in Japanese. This is the link for "Khanom Krok" and you can see video clip of actual street vendor in Thailand at the bottom of the page: http://importfood.com/recipes/kanom_krok.html This is the actual recipe I had with my friend last month…she made for me when I visited her:

Your love for burmese food really shows. Mont-lin-ma-yar is my favourite street food. I think you are missing the main ingredient here. It's the steamed burmese bean "pae pyote" (sorry i dont know the english name, the extact type of bean is really hard to find in the west anyway) OR you can use QUAIL EGG. Luxury Mont Lin Ma Yar if you like.. LOL. As qail egg is quite expensive, peopel tend to put it in one of the couple only :). No need to use MSG at all. Instead sprinkle tosted sesame seeds and sea salt (and then grounded in pestle and mortar) on the finished Mont-lin-ma-yars to enhance the taste. I love your site!
