Kachin cuisine

Kachin cuisine is food indigenous to the Kachin peoples, who inhabit the northern areas of Myanmar, as well as parts of China and Arunachal Pradesh, associated with Kachin. Kachin restaurants have opened in Myanmar's commercial capital of Yangon, and Kachin migrants have brought the cuisine to other countries. Kachin cuisine is typified by its use of cold-climate ingredients like potatoes, wild game (e.g., venison and wild boar), and foraged herbs and vegetables. The traditional staple is rice, which is traditionally cultivated in hillside fields.
