This NEVER goes wrong, is quick, easy and healthy. On the table in 15 minutes. Even my conservative and fussy 16 yr old brother in law loves it. Flavour is amazing! (am drooling just writing the recipe!) Just wanted to mention that the chilli powder used is Australian chilli powder (ie hot stuff) not the milder variety used in making US/Mexican chilies!!
A Cantonese chef — my roommate– gave me this recipe that I translated into English. It’s pan-fried egg noodles (crispy brown in places) topped with a mix of vegetables and seafood in a light white sauce. Very nice.
I got this recipe from a grandmother in Phnom Penh. It’s normally eaten for breakfast in Cambodia, but westerners would probably consider it lunch or dinner food. If you can’t find the powdered rice root, don’t worry, it’s not that importaint. For the toasted rice powder, toast the rice in a dry pan until brown and grind to a powder.
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 🙂
Another version of cabbage and noodles. This recipe is from Teresa Givens in the St. Boniface Centennial Cookbook from Stuart, Nebraska. She specifies 1 small green cabbage.
