Fried Armenian String Cheese
with Tomato-Tamarind Sauce and Nigella Powder
When Mish Mish first opened, owner Alex Tewfik bought so many of
the imported string cheese braids for the kitchen that he nearly caused
a shortage at area Levantine markets. Luckily, he found Sun-Ni Cheese,
an Armenian string cheese company headquartered in the Philadelphia
suburbs with production in Secaucus, New Jersey. You can buy Sun-Ni
products online or at supermarkets such as Whole Foods and Wegmans or
hit up your local Middle Eastern grocer for imported brands.
