Tai,
You can substitute quail with either ground chicken or turkey. As for the measurement I would say about 2-3 lbs of ground meat. Again, be sure to taste and adjust according to preference prior to serving.

Hi Khatiya,

I’m soo glad to have found your website. It has the receipes of all my favorite dishes. Quick question, I don’t have access to quail but can substitute ground chicken but your receipe doesn’t mention how many lbs of meat. How many pounds does 6 quails equal to?

Cole,
I’m so glad to hear that you are satisfied with your purchase of my Mother’s lemongrass paste. I did pass the compliments to her and she is happy as well. Moreover, I’m thrilled to know that you tried my recipe and it worked out for you. This is definitely one of the recipe I highly recommend others to try and like you have just done, there just so many variations. That’s the joy of cooking your own dishes is that you can adjust everything and anything to suit your taste buds.

I received the lemongrass paste from Khatiya today. Oh man, the Fiery Stir Fry Lemongrass Quail is superb. I put a little extra Holy Basil (spicy basil- I have plenty of this stuff in my backyard.) and pickle bamboo shoot. Little extra jalapenos are a must too. The tastes and the flavor are out of this world. It is probably the first time I got this Khmer stir fry dish right after a gazillion trials. I will try the lemongrass paste with some other recipes this weekend.

The lemongrass is very fresh and very well blended and very well done!

From what I have remember Cha Kroeung Quail is usually done with ground up quail bone and all. The quails are pretty small and their bones are not as tough as chicken bones. Some people use stew chicken "mon svett" to make this dish as well. If you have a dish/recipe you would like to request please submit them in the "Recipe Page".
