Burmese egg roti is a popular street food in Myanmar, and it has become one of the most popular menu items at Tea Garden in Mae Sot. The egg roti is really easy to make, especially if you’re using ready-made roti, which can be found in most Asian grocery stores. Delicious as a sweet breakfast or as a snack in the afternoon along with a cup of hot tea.
Recipe and Notes by Chef Nge Nge
You can customize the roti anyway you like. I have even had guests in the Tea Garden restaurant ordering egg roti without egg(!).
Roti: If you don’t have access to roti bread, you can use wheat flour tortillas as a substitute. The tortillas will work just as well and will still provide a crispy texture to the dish. You can also add other ingredients to the dish, such as chopped scallions and cheese.
Drizzle sugar and sweetened condensed milk over the eggs and roti bread. You can add as much or as little condensed milk as you like, depending on your preference. The condensed milk adds a creamy sweetness to the dish and balances out the savory flavor of the eggs.

Directions

- Spread the beaten eggs over the roti. Fold the sides of the roti towards the center, so it looks like a flat burrito.
