Preparation
- Step 1
Combine all ingredients in large bowl, and mix well. Divide between two plates, and serve, with garnishes.
To make fried garlic, slice as many cloves of garlic lengthwise as desired. Saute slowly in peanut oil to cover until garlic is lightly browned on both sides. Remove from oil, and place on paper towels to dry. Refrigerate in tightly covered container.

Where are you getting your fermented tea leaves?
Where the recipe asks for 1TBS of peanut oil, be sure to use the oil that was used to fry the garlic. Also, be sure to soak your dry peas (and/or split fava beans, and/or chick peas) over night, and dry by laying them on some paper towel for about 30 minutes before you fry them in about an inch of oil in a heavy wok. Fry until medium golden, and they have almost stopped bubbling. Drain and cool on paper towel
You can buy fermented tea leaves from Kalustyan's in NYC.
There is no way to replicate the fermentation process of the tea leaves at home. I strongly recommend getting your ingredients from Yoma Myanmar: https://teasalad.com/index.html
And still guys, how can we ferment tea leaves? How hard can it be? A little guidance please!
