This is a exotic recipe for me @ChiepSophy
Thank you for your wonder about Khmer dish,
Instructions
Bring a large pan of salted water to the boil. Blanch vegetables separately for 2 minutes or until softened. Drain well and set aside.
Combine pickled mud fish and 150 ml water in a small saucepan, bring to a simmer, then cook over low–medium heat for 15 minutes or until fish has broken down. Strain through a fine sieve, pressing firmly on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids and set mud fish liquid aside.
Meanwhile, place 200 ml boiling water in a bowl, add tamarind paste and leave for 20 minutes or until tamarind has softened. Loosen tamarind, then strain through a fine sieve, pressing firmly on the solids to extract as much liquid as possible. Discard solids and set tamarind liquid aside.
Process lemongrass, lime leaves, galangal and garlic in a small food processor to a paste. (You can also do this using a mortar and pestle).
Heat oil in a large saucepan over medium heat, add lemongrass paste and turmeric, and cook, stirring, for 2 minutes or until fragrant. Add 400 ml water, tamarind liquid, mud fish liquid and fish sauce, and bring to a simmer. Add beef, sugar and 2 tsp salt, and cook over low–medium heat, stirring frequently and adding a little more water if necessary to cover beef, for 3 minutes or until beef is almost cooked. Add vegetables and cook for a further 2 minutes or until beef is cooked and vegetables are heated through. Serve with rice.
Thank you for the detail explanation @ChiepSophy
I’ll try this recipe when I find all tge ingredients which are easy for me to buy them here in Colombia.
Is it common in your country to mix fish with beef?
@ChiepSophy I remember trying this dish only once while I visited Cambodia. The taste was very specific and for sure the first time I experience such a flavor. I really enjoyed eating this traditional Khmer food.
