The staple of the Akha diet is dry-planted mountain rice, but there are a number of dishes that are uniquely “Akha”. A combination of five types of dishes may be served at a traditional formal meal:

A fried dish (usually pork or chicken and vegetables),

A boiled dish (a soup, sometimes vegetables, sometimes potatoes cooked with stewing bones),

A pickled dish (any combination of vegetables which have been preserved through a pickling process),

A crushed dish (a salsa created by combining chili peppers, tomatoes, cilantro and other unique ingredients by mortar and pestle),

A raw dish (raw vegetables used to dip in the salsa, and occasionally raw meats).

Here you can see diced pork which has been crisp-fried and seasoned with chilies and garlic. In this dish broccoli was added, but the vegetables will vary widely based on the season and what each family plants in their fields.
