Pork Curry with Pone-Yay-Gyi
This is a very original Myanmar recipe cooked with Pone-Yay-Gyi paste, a traditional Myanmar ingredient. You can get a fresh Pone-Yay-Gyi paste when you are in countryside, which is a very tasty, special countryside treat! But you can get away with ready made Pone-Yay-Gyi paste from super markets in Myanmar and still get the same result. It will be a miracle to find a ready made Pone-Yay-Gyi paste aboard, but, if you do come across it, I suggest you do not waste your fortune and cook this wonderful receipe!
