Cha Traop Dot (Cambodian Eggplant/Pork Stir-Fry)

This comes from “The Elephant Walk Cookbook,” published by my all-time favorite restaurant, The Elephant Walk. If you’re ever anywhere near Boston, make a point of finding your way to Porter Square in the Cambridge/Somerville area — you’ll find the restaurant a few blocks north on Mass. Ave. The food is unbelievably good!

Sakhon’s Noodles

This is named after a dear student of mine who was originally from Cambodia. We had lunch in a Cambodian restaurant once and this is my “NO AUTHENTIC INGREDIENTS” copy of the recipe. At the time, fish sauce and such were not readily available even in California, so I faked it, but it turned out really well. My Cambodian and Vietnamese friends approve. It’s a fast easy weeknight dish and is very open to whatever veggies you have in the fridge. (I love shredded carrots, cucumber, zucchini, halved cherry tomatoes….) What’s best about it is that when I cook it I remember this troubled kid who finally made it 🙂
