Cambodian Sweet Soup
Servings: 4-5 persons
Prep time: 30min
Cook time: 2-3 hours
(cook time recommended for full taste, however 30 minutes will do)
Total Time: 1-4 hours (variable based on choosen cook time)
Ingredients
6-8 boiled eggs, peeled
1.5-2 lbs pork, cut into chunky cubes
fish sauce
soy sauce
pepper, salt
1-1.5 cups sugar
bamboo shoots, rectangular/ squarely sliced thin
Directions
The main feature of this dish is the soup itself. So keep in mind that you
shouldn't feel shy when I say season to taste. Some people like their
sweet soup really sweet, some not so sweet. Remember it takes a little
tweaking to get this to taste just right. Enjoy, I did!
1. Bring about 3-4 cups of water to a roaring boil
2. Add enough soy sauce to make a dark brown color
3. Add a couple dashes of pepper
4. Add a dash of salt
5. Add sugar until sweet (the soup, not you!)
6. Add enough fish sauce to taste (usu about 1.4 cup)
7. Add about 5-7 tbps of soy sauce
At this point you should be smelling a very beautifull smell. The soup should taste sweet, but not so sweet you can't taste the tinge of fish sauce you added. Add the boiled eggs to the soup, let boil for about 15 minutes then add the cubed pork. Add Bamboo slices to soup and let boil on medium for about 30 minutes. You should notice that the eggs are taking up a shiny delicatable brown color. The soup should smell slightly different. When eggs are a nice brown color, the soup is ready to serve.
It IS STRONGLY recommended that you let the soup simmer on a low heat for
about 2-3 hours. The eggs and pork will absorb the flavor better. The
soup will taste sweeter and more tasty because of the water that has evaporated.
Serve with a plate of hot steamy rice. Use laddle to cover rice with soup
sauce.
Aromatic Black Tiger Shrimp with Fresh Garden Vegetables
(Recipe serves 4)
Ingredients
1 lb. black tiger shrimp, shelled and de-veined (can substitute thinly sliced chicken breast)
1/2 cup minced lemongrass
1/2 cup minced cilantro stems (the product of one large bunch)
1 tsp chopped galangal
1 tsp coriander seeds
8 medium-sized garlic cloves
1 tbsp kaffir lime leaves, de-veined
1 tbsp tamarind pulp
1 ripe cubanelle pepper, cut into 1 inch diagonal slices (red bell peppers are an adequate
substitute)
6 oz asparagus cut into 1 1/2 inch lengths
6 oz savoy cabbage cut into 1 inch diagonal slices
3 tbsp vegetable oil of choice
1 tsp salt
1 tbsp sugar
3/4 cup water
1 cup chicken stock
Directions
1. Add to blender: cilantro, galangal, lemongrass, coriander seeds, garlic, kaffir lime leaves and
water. Blend into a very smooth paste and set aside.
2. Soak the tamarind pulp in about 4 tablespoons of hot water for 5 minutes. Using a spoon, scrape
the flesh away from the pulp to release the tamarind flavor into the water. Discard the pulp. Set the
tamarind juice aside.
3. In a wok (a 12-inch sauté pan is an adequate substitute) over high heat add 2 tablespoons of
vegetable oil. Add the paste and stir constantly for approximately 2 minutes, until the aroma is
released. Transfer the cooked paste into a bowl.
4. Add the remaining tablespoons of oil to the wok. Add the shrimp and stir fry for 15 seconds. Add
all of the sliced vegetables and stir fry for 3 to for minutes, until the vegetables have reached your
desired tenderness. Add the paste, chicken stock, salt, sugar, and tamarind juice and stir fry for
two more minutes.
5. Garnish with cilantro leaves and served immediately.

1 cup cellophane (bean thread) noodles, soaked in cold water for 15 minutes, then cut into 6-inch lengths
6 cups chicken stock

When ready to serve, ladle into bowls and garnish with scallions. Arm your guests with any tools they ask for and promise not to laugh as they slurp away.
