Grill Lemongrass Pork Paste ( Khmer Kop Prohok)



Grill Lemongrass Pork Paste ( Khmer Kop Prohok)

The Farmer in Cambodia love this food and everyone in Cambodia know what it is. You have to adjust the recipe to your taste with lemongrass kreoung (paste) and sour flavor.

1 cup of ground pork (you can do small fish also, but I like pork better no bone)
4 T mix lemongrass paste (with Lemongrass, galangal, krachai, garlic, turmeric, and kaffir lime leave)
11/2 cup any kind of mushroom you like (minced)
2 T of Tamarind powder or Krasong or young Tamarind leaves of your choice (only use one or else it will be too sour) adjust to your taste
2 T of good Khmer Prohok paste
1 T of chicken powder base (Like Knorr)
Chopped chilies to your taste
MSG optional but it helps with this kind of food
1/2 cup of Minced holy basil (Mreas Prove) you can add more if you like

In a dip mortar pestle pound the lemongrasses with everything to paste then add the ground pork to it make sure you have a spoon to stir it around

Now add korr chicken, MSG, tamarind powder or krasong of your choice stir everything with a spoon

Add chilies, and last add the Prahok holy basil and mix it very well.

Tear out a big piece of foil or banana leaves of you have it, spoon the Kop Prohok mixture put it in a center and fold it to close both side whatever work for you.

You can steam kop prohok in a bowl like Amok, but it is better to grill it on a gas grill or bake in the oven at 350 degree for 35 minutes or until the pork meat is done (depend on how big you wrap it).

Serve Kop Prohok with rice and green vegetables the best one is green tamarind and green mango

1  small chicken cook in 16 cups of water until the chicken is done, you can add more water if needed (you need this broth to cook the Congee) when the chicken is done shredded the meat and set aside. You can through the bone away, but sometime I  put it back in the broth for flavor.
If you follow these recipes you can do the same with fish, pork blood, and pork belly. For pork blood you have to cook it ahead of time, cut to cube bite size and put it last when the rice soup is almost done.

Use 8 cups of broth

2 T of fried garlic or shallot for garnish
2 green onions cut to 1 inch long for garnish
2 T of fish sauce (if you don’t like fish sauce put salt)
1 T of sugar



For the bowl:
Soy bean paste
Chili sauce
Black pepper
Sugar
Lime wedge
Green onion
Bean Sprouts
Saw tooth (Jee Bonlar)

In a big pot on high heat bring the chicken broth to a boil
When the broth is boiling add rice let the rice cook until it is soft and not raw in the middle
Then add chicken, dried shrimp, preserve cabbage, garlic paste cooked for 5 minutes to let the flavor come and the rice is soft (is like borbor)
Then add the flat noodle to it cook until it is soft
Now add sugar, salt or fish sauce to it, taste and adjust the flavor
Turn the heat off
Garnish the soup rice with fried garlic or shallot and green onions
If you soup rice is too thin don’t worry, when it is cold it will be thicker, but if it is too thick do add more broth to it. You can use chicken broth from the can if you like.
When ready to serve you can ladle the soup rice into a serving bowl and add the bean sprouts, lime wedge, green onion and so on according to your taste.

Asian Style Salmon dip




Asian Style Salmon dip

I love fish and I can eat fish anytime. In Southeast Asia the Mekong River is full of  fresh water fish and the meat is sweet. I love fresh water fish, but here in Seattle no  fresh water  around to fish,  Seafood is all I have through out the year, so I have to be creative to cook Salmon. You can cook as much as you like for this recipe all you have to do is bake the fish and get all the fresh herbs and fresh lettuce to wrap with the fish.

To bake Salmon don’t bake it with salt or pepper like what we do in Asia, but  bake it with butter and brown sugar this will help the flavor of Salmon.  I often bake it in a foil so all the juice stay.

You need
1/2 of clean fresh Salmon wrap in foil with few sliced of butter and 2 to 3 T of brown sugar (wrap and bake for 25 to 30 minutes at 350 degree or grill outside will work well) don’t over bake the fish, keep the fish warm until serve.

For the vegetables platter you need
Any kind of lettuce you like or water crests
Lot of herbs like mints, Vietnamese mints, Thai basil, cilantro ect…
Fresh cucumber sliced
Fresh bean sprouts and so on…whatever you like to wrap with the fish.

For the dressing there is 2 kind of dressing for this fish salad, you can use tamarind dressing or lime dressing like what the Vietnamese did for the chicken salad.

For the Tamarind Dressing (do adjust the flavor to your taste)

1/2 cup of sugar (more or less up to you)
1/2 cup of fish sauce use 3 crabs fish sauce is best
1/2 cup of boiling water (let it cool before you mix it)
3 cloves of minced garlic
2 shallots thinly sliced
1/4 cup of tamarind concentrate (do adjust to your test of sourness)
3 Thai chilies minced
Mix everything together in  a bowl, taste and adjust the flavor. Set aside

1 T Fried shallots add to the dressing before serving
1 T Roasted peanut add to the dressing before serving

For lime dressing
1/2 cup of sugar
1/2 cup of boiling water
1/2 cup of fish sauce
2 limes juice adjust the sourness to your liking.
3 Thai Chilies more or less up to you.
3 cloves of minced garlic

Mix everything together in a bowl,  adjust the flavor (most dressing will taste better after few hours)

When ready to serve arrange all the lettuce, herbs, and cucumber on a serving platter.
Wrap cooked Salmon with lettuce, herbs, and cucumber dip in the dressing and enjoy! Southeast Asian serve this recipe with cooked rice.
Make sure you add fried shallots and Roasted Peanut to the dressing

Enjoy!
