Cambodian Coconut Sauce

This is easy to make and can be served over cubed mango, strawberries, or even over canned fruit cocktail. I like it mixed into plain yogurt. You can serve it over pound cake that it topped with fruit. I toast some sweetened coconut flakes and serve it over the sauce, whether over fruit or in yogurt. It adds a wonderful finishing touch.

Hot Basil Chicken (Cha Kreung Satch Moan)

I found this on Facebook. There are several pages dedicated to Cambodian recipes, and this is one of them. There are fish sauces that are kosher, but I don’t know about oyster sauces. Usually vegan stores have some kind of imitation to replace the real thing.

Tirk Kos Krote Komquat (Cambodian Komquat Drink)

A refreshing tart carbonated komquat-ade from Cambodia. Calamondins are a cross between a kumquat and a mandarin – I was unable to find either at my local grocery so I made it using 1 medium sized naval orange. The original recipe calls for 3 tbsp of sugar, which makes an incredibly tart beverage – I used sprite and 1/2 cup of sugar because the original was too strong for my tastes. from khmerkromrecipes.com

Cambodian-Style Fish Poached in Coconut Milk

This recipe was featured in our local paper and is a Kylie Kwong and from her cookbook It Tastes Better and her intro to the recipe was “I love this recipe because it is quick and simple to make, yet so exotic in flavour. The galangal, turmeric and kaffir lime leaves add that gorgeous earthy, aromatic flavour so particular to South-East Asian cuisine, and the taste and texture of fish cooked gently in coconut milk are sublime. If you like, you can substitute the fish with any other seafood, or even chicken.”
