Grilled Ginger Chicken Wings

I “bribed” one of my students to watch his Cambodian grandma make these and write everything down. These are just like what she made! If you don’t like ginger, don’t make these. Prep time doesn’t include marinating.

Beef Lok Lak (Cambodian Recipe)

I ate lots of Lok Lak on a recent holiday to Cambodia. It’s similar to Vietnamese Shaking Beef although the Cambodians don’t like to admit that. In Cambodia it might come with chips (fries) and a fried egg or rice-I liked the rice option. You eat it by wrapping portions of the meat and salad ingredients in a lettuce leaf, then dipping that in the dipping sauce (the best part of it I reckon). Sometimes the meat is sliced, sometimes it’s cubed-I prefer slices. Semi ripe tomatoes are preferred to ripe ones, but use what you have!

Cambodian Wings

Khmer Krom baked chicken wings with sweet and spicy sauce is another delicious variation on some of the Cambodian recipes I received from students….NEW note– as for being authentic or “really” Cambodian, all I can tell you is that I’ve had similar chicken at three different students’ homes and this was from one student’s grandmother. It’s pretty good regardless!
