    Can you make a recipe for loard cha?

  • theary

    i don’t remember what to call it, but there’s a prahok dish where it’s steamed with egg. you dip it with cucumbers, eggplant etc etc. would love your recipe for that, if you’re inclined.

    • Theary,
      I think it’s called “Pahok Jomhoy”. I’ve never made it before but I have ate it when my Mother make it. She also add “salted fish eggs” (pa’ork pong trey) to it along with some ground pork. Funny because last weekend my Mother gave me a jar of her homemade salted fish eggs because I told her I was craving for “Pahok Jomhhoy”. It’s on my to-make list already.

  • Jeanne

    I have been looking for a recipe for Sum Law Ktiss, my husband and I love cambodian food. We have it everytime we go to Stir Crazy restaurant in Pocasset,MA. I have tried to replicate this dish, but something is missing!

    Thank you, Jeanne

    • Jeanne,
      Hmmm are you referring to “Somlaw Machew Kroeung Ktiss”? There’s just so many variation. There some with and without pineapples. Some with pork and others with chicken. Would you happen to have a more description of it?

  • Vann

    Would you happen to have the recipe for the coconut jello dessert? I’m not sure what it is called in Khmer but I attended a birthday party where they served the jello in cubes and I think there was shredded jack fruit on top of the jello.

  • Cole

    Hi Khatiya,
    I am cheerful that I come across your website and recipes. I live in Arizona. I rarely see any Khmer people in the east valley of Arizona here. Being a Khmer man, I have zero talent in cooking the Khmer traditional dishes. Being living very far from my mother in central California, I have to learn to cook. My wife is a Filipina. She can cook some of her native dishes, but I miss the Thai and Khmer dishes.

    If you built your website all by yourself, it is very well done. It is very well built and the information and recipes are very clear. Your English is very well written too.

    I cook the “Fiery Stir Fry Lemongrass Quail” (I use chicken) with my own recipes several times. It did not turns out very good. I will try your “Fiery Stir Fry Lemongrass Quail” recipes this week. I happen to have plenty of Holy Basil (I call it spicy basil) and variety of other Khmer basils in the backyard. I have the fresh lemongrass in the backyard too, but it is very hard for me to find any other roots to complete the sauce in Arizona. I will order your pre-mixed lemongrass ingredient. I want to try your mom dried catfish too, and I will order it too. I used to live in Stockton, CA and I used to work in the bay area back in the early 90′s. I miss all the Asian food there.

    Please keep it up and help preserve all Khmer tradition recipes. Do you know some Thai recipes too? I am happening to understand Thai too. It is a long history.

    Hey, good job!

    Thanks,
    Cole

    • Hi Cole,
      Thank you for visiting my site and for all those wonderful comments. :) I’m glad to hear that you enjoyed my work. This site, the photos and the writings are done solely by me. :) At first it took a bit time to get it up however now it’s a breeze and the only minor trouble is deciding what to post up next. :D

      When you are ready to place your order, I will forward it to my Mother right away so she can get that going. Try my Mother’s Kroeung and see how it goes when you make my ““Fiery Stir Fry Lemongrass Quail”. I would love to hear your comments on my recipe.

      As for Thai recipes, yes I do know a variety. Some of them are very similar to Cambodian recipes, as you may already know. Do you have a particular recipe you would like for me to tackle? Also, I do understand Thai too. :) I wouldn’t call it advance but perhaps intermediate? Like some reading, writing and understanding but I stutter when I try to speak it as I am the only member in my family that knows this and I don’t practice with anybody.

  • Cole

    What a coincidence?

    I lost most of my Thai and Khmer. I used to know how to read and write both languages very well. Since I grew up in the state and I rarely have anyone to communicate to in Thai and Khmer, I barely can speak now. But I still understand it very well. My parents and my older brother are still very good in Thai and Khmer. It is a very long ancient history why we speak both Thai and Khmer in a small city at the countryside of Cambodia.

    Oh by the way, I happen to be very good in electronics and computer too.

    Thank you very much for sharing your Khmer recipes in your website. I will try several recipes from here, and I will let you know afterward.

  • somally keo

    hey theary that recipe is actually really easy. its just 2 eggs and 1 or 2 spoon fish paste (cream style) you can adjust to ur own liking..put the mixture in a bowl and whisk it with a fork until its blended pretty well and u can also put 1 or 2 red & green pepper in there and just steam it :) adding sugar, msg is up to you!

  • Vann

    Khatiya,
    :) Yes, it is “Sarai” and I’ve subscribed to your site already. BTW, my friends and I love your mom’s sausages. I’m going to place another order this week.

  • Kevin

    Hi Khatiya, how are you? I was wondering if u could make a recipe for Katiev Cha and Cambodian beef stew with potatoe, carrots, cabbage, beef and tendon? Do u know the name of that stew? It is a clear broth.

    There’s another Cambodian beef stew, “Khor/Caw Ko” Thats really delicious with french bread or rice noodles.

    • Hey Kevin,
      What type of kuyteav cha are you seeking as there are so many varieties. I’ve already post up the Mee Katang (Cambodian Style Chow Fun) and the easy Garlic and Shrimp Noodles. As for the beef stew, I recently made some with oxtail. I’m not sure if there’s any proper or authentic recipe for this as I just went with my imagination. Sometimes I would use beef neck bones but it just so happened that the oxtail were on sale. We call this “Soup Cha’ung Ko” Beef Bone Soup. When I was growing up my Mother used to make this and sometime she would transfer it into a hot pot and we would dip thinly sliced beef to it. This recently version I made, I end up having it with rice stick noodles. The next time I make it, I will sure to share my recipe. Didn’t know if anybody would be interested then. :)

  • Kevin

    Hey Khatiya, the kuyteav cha is just the basic stir fried pan noodles with rice noodles, any kind of meat and veggies. It’s paid thai, but I know khmers have our own version and while I used to lived in Boston, the many khmer restaurants made it serving with a side of turk trey sauce. I just wanted to know if theres any similarities or differences between kuyteav cha and pad thai, etc and do you have a recipe for that. Thanks.

  • Jan

    Hi:

    I’ve been looking for this recipe where you pickled and preserved with the papaya. It like “Yom LaHorng” Something like that, but with fish sauce, not so sure. But was wondering you can help.

    Thank you!

  • Channie

    Hi!

    I just found your site yesterday and I’m pretty impressed. I have been searching a long time for khmer recipes and there are not a lot that show you have to make it or one with ingredients. I love your website. Now it will give me the motivation to start learning how to cook khmer foods again. My mom passed away 5 years ago and I regretted deeply for not taking the time to learn from her when she was alive. Sometime I craved for certain foods but I don’t know how to make it. Now I can learn from you. Thank you! :)

    I have a question regarding delivery. Do you ship to Canada? I would love to order some cambodian sausages.

    Thanks

    Channie (Than)

    • Hi Channie,
      A warm welcome to you too. :) Thanks for stopping by and hope that you help spread my site to other fellow Cambodians so they can enjoy our food & cooking as well. I’m so sorry to hear about your lost. While growing up I barely pay attention to my Mother’s cooking. Even through the college years. It was not until I moved out when I began to crave certain dishes that I can’t find at the restaurants or they didn’t meet my expectation, then I start to venture into my own kitchen. After a few successful dishes (at least in my opinion) I began to enjoy cooking. The part I hate is cleaning or not having someone to taste and eat my dish LOL. I’m a self taught and I believe anybody can do this if they have the will-power of wanting to learn. The next step is taking risk (in the kitchen). :) Now-a-days there’s lots of helpful information online such is youtube, blogs and also cookbooks. While it might not give you exactly what you want, it is a starting point and you can get ideas and tips from them.
      Do try out my recipes and please let me know how it turned out. I would like to hear your comments, opinions or suggestions. We can always learn from one another. Once again, welcome. :)

  • Channie

    I self taught myself too after my mom passed away and I have no choice but to learn how to cook because I have a husband and a daughter to feed. Hehe

    I know how to cook certain foods from looking at khmer cookbook and from searching online. Some of the dishes I made are from memories, from the time when my mom tried to teach me (was not into learning at that time) but they are somewhat latched into my mind. Certain day, when I crave for something, I dig into my brain and try to remember what
    was in there and then i would try to make it. Take a lot of try to finally make it to my likes.

    Some of the recipes I found online, I had to adjust to my taste since they don’t have the measurements. I have a long way to go and still have a lot more dishes I want to try. I haven’t go through all your recipes yet but I found a few that I want to try.

    Oh you haven’t answer my question. Do you ship to Canada?

    Thanks

    • Ops! In regards to shipping to Canada or internationally for that matter, it might be too risky. I do not know what the requirements are or how customs handles food entering their countries. If they do allow food to be import it via United States Postal Service it will have to go via Express or service that does not take more than 2-3 days to arrive – which might be pricey. It will depend on my buyers if they want to take this risk.

  • Channie

    Thank you for your reply. I guess I can’t order it then. Might be too risky. I hope you can write down the recipes and share with us on how to make cambodian sausage. :)

  • Tevy Larsen

    Dear Khatiya,

    I have been reading your blog and You Tube for few years. I am so impress with what you have. You are young, but your skill of cooking is wonderful.

    I am 45 years old born in Cambodia,came to America in 1982. Cooking is one of my favorite thing to do when I have the time. I love to cook, travel, and gardening. I have been teaching Southeast Asia cooking class for many years to raise money to help all my relatives in Cambodia and put many of my nieces and nephews in College.

    By reading your blog I am so very impress with your skill. Keep up your good work and thanks for sharing with others.

    • Ming Tevy,
      Thank you so much for your compliments and encouragement. Mostly, thank you for following my work all these years. Throughout these years my site had been through many transformation and I never really knew if it anybody out there were interested in Cambodian food & cooking. Having all these design tools available is so helpful and with comments and feedback like yours it just pushed me into the kitchen a lil deeper LOL, in a good way of course.

  • Sina

    Do you have a recipe for cambodian style “hu thieu” known as (Pho) rice noddles. ive tried a few homemade recipes, but was wondering if your have your own recipe and tecnique
    thanks a bunch!

    • Sina,
      It seems like every Cambodian family has their own way to making the broth for Kuy Teav whether it’s beef broth of pork. The one I shared is my own creation (shortcut) to what I think resembles the popular Cambodian Phnom Penh Noodle Soup. You can check out my very quick and easy recipe here.

  • oh nvm i found the recipe! under marinated beef with lime sauce. thanks

  • Meline

    Hii! Can you please post a recipe for Shrimp Mum. I think its called that or something like that. I forgot how my mom makes it but which ever style is fine.

  • Kevin

    Khatiya, just wanted to wish u a happy thanksgiving!

  • Kosal

    I love your website Khatiya, definitely the best site for Khmer recipe on the net. I was wondering if i could inquire about 2 recipes, one is very similar to you steamed bun with egg and sausage recipe but instead of the egg and sausage it has some sort of a chicken filling with cilantro, I used to buy them at a roadside market on the way to Sihanoukville when i was teaching in Srok Khmer and miss them terribly. the other recipe is for nom sam, my friends auntie used to make a batch every week when we were kids and i havnt been able to find a recipe for them anywhere. Awkun chran :)

    • Kosal,
      Thanks for your compliments. :) As for the 2 recipes you mentioned, I don’t recall eating a chicken and cilantro filling however, I would presume that it’s a matter of preference. Maybe a quick diced chicken stir-fried with some seasoning and topped with chopped cilantro, then stuffed in the floured bun and steamed? This same bun is used for sweet fillings as well.

      As for Nom Onsorm, is that the one made with sticky rice and either banana or pork, then steamed? Those I know are most popular during Cambodian traditional holidays. So far I have not tried to make them myself since only 1-2 will fill me up and being a “single mouth” LOL some dishes are just very time-consuming to make. But nevertheless, I do want to learn as much as possible and maybe someday I will make this and share with everyone my approach.

  • Wow! I’m so mad I didn’t come here earlier! Keep up the great work! Will have requests soon! :D

    • Thyda,
      Welcome to my site, no need to be mad. I’ve just started this site and not that much is here yet so you have time to catch up and cook all my recipes lol. Just don’t forget to share your thoughts and opinion about it as I am interested in knowing if others have the same taste bud as me.

  • sina

    hi khatiya,
    i wanted to know if you have a recipe for preserved shrimp or with fish called “mamm”?

    • Sina,
      I don’t have a recipe for this. Although my Mother makes them pretty often in batches but I normally just pick out the papaya to eat. It’s not my most favorite things to eat, perhaps it’s why I never pay attention to her when she makes them. Maybe in the future I will take notes from her and share them.

  • Wow, many great pictures and recipes. Just saw the muffin pictures, a shame we don’t have any owen here :)
    My only option is to stick with the 7-eleven ones,, haha, not really the same.

  • Vanna

    Hi Khatiya~!
    I love your website, it’s sooo awesome! I love cooking, especially Cambodian dishes. You have posted so many recipes that I have been dying to make. ;) Also, since I am from Stockton, can I have your mom’s phone # & address so I can purchase her lemongrass paste & some sausages? What else does she sell? Thanks!

    • Vanna,
      At the moment she has the following for sell: Kwah Ko, Lemongrass Paste, Salty Dried Fish, Fish Cake (Pahet) and Fish Eggs (Pa’ork Pong Trey). I will email you her contact information.

  • Sammie

    Hi there. I stumble upon your website and I’m in love with it. I made mee kateng the other day and it turned out perfect. :) it was a recipe I’ve been searching for quite some time now. I was wondering if you have eaten or heard of a dish called “Cha laeh” (Stir-fry clam with thai basil). I am dying to know whats in this dish!! I love love it. If you have it you are a god sent.
    Thanks again for this wonderful site.

    • Sammie,
      I am familiar with a variety of clams “leas”. One being the dark shell with a white spot on the bottom. Cambodians in Stockton, CA likes to dry them during the summer time with a bit of salt. The big one however are used to make stir-fry clams with ginger. I personally have not tried to make this on my own but have eaten them when my Mother makes it. The one you are seeking refers to Manila clams, pale greyish, like the one sold in Asian supermarket right? I’ve tried using those Manila clams before and stir-fried them with some oyster sauce and basil but did not get a chance to capture the picture or recipe. Perhaps if I can get my hands on those clams again when they are on sale, I will remember to share my recipe with you.

    Hi Khatiya, yes I am referring to the Manila Clams. YUM!!! those are my fav. I also know about the dark clams you are referring too, my mom used to make those for us when we were young. WOW that was years ago! If you get the chance to try the recipe for the Manila clams that would be awesome. My kids will be super surprised when I serve this dish.
    I just love your site. Keep up the great work. All the recipes you have on here really bring back my childhood memories when I used to live with my mom.
    You should consider publishing a Cambodian cook book because there isnt any good ones out there.

    Hi Bong Khatiya,

    I just want to say you make learning how to make khmer food more simpler then ever. Thanks.

    I’ve just discovered your site and I am so very thankful! You’ve done a great job compiling some great khmer recipes! I love to cook but have absolutely no idea how to make my own culture’s food! All my family live in another state, so I’m left only with cravings and no way to fulfill them! I tried asking my family but of course it’s always, oh it’s a little of this and a little of that, but you should do it to your taste! Ahh pretty frustrating. I am going to try some of your recipes very soon. :) So thank you for the measurements and keep up the great work!! Oh by the way, do you know how to make a refreshing salad with vermicelli noodles, shredded chicken, sliced pork, basil…and I believe lime juice..I think it’s called nhoam…please let me know if you know what I’m talking about. Thanks so much!!
