Cambodia food

Cambodian people always cooked food with all vegetable that easy to find in rural area. I said like this because in countryside, every house, they planted many kind of vegetables which they can use it to cook. It is fresh and without chemical. Cambodian Traditional cheese is Prohok which made by river fish. We can cook Prohok in some menu and can be eat with vegetables.

 One kind of menu that we can eat with raw vegetable or bold vegetable. The first picture is the start of my cooking Cambodia food. Because my mom, she can't eat raw vegetables so we decided to bold all vegetables (But some vegetables we should cook because when we eat raw it would make tasteless).

And to bold it to be delicious. During bold it, we should add a little amount of oil and salt. The oil will make vegetables still look fresh and salt will bring the sweet taste from vegetable. With both combination, it would make good taste.

This menu is called Teuk Kreurng. The main ingredients are fish and fresh vegetable. The sub ingredients are red garlic, white garlic, small eggplant, lemon, and peanuts.

First, we need to cook fish. The small eggplants, red garlic, and white garlic must fry it till their color became a little bit dark brown and we need to put a little bit oil (see the first photo).

 The fish, we need to cook it. It should be after cook, we take out fish bone and grind it. Normally, there are many kinds of river fish but some fishes are delicious for making this menu but some fishes, we can't use for making this menu.

The fourth photo is after fry red garlic, white garlic and small eggplants. We also need some raw garlic to make it tasty. After that all of those must be grind together with peanut before adding fish into it.
Don't forget the secret receipt is Cambodian Prohok. We should put Prohok but before add it. Prohok need to be steam.

We mix grind all together such as red garlic, white garlic, small eggplants, fish and peanuts. After that add Steam Prohok water and put lemon juice. Specially, don't forget add sugar and salt to make it more delicious.

Photo below is the finished one. You need to eat both at the same time. I think some people like spicy food, so feel free to add more red peppers as much as you like.
