Magical sauce "Koh Kong Sauce" - easy to make

[Sophia_Cambodia]

I would like to introduce the spicy sauce that we make to eat with meat and seafood. I made this in New Zealand and let my foreign friends taste it, they named it “Magical Sauce”. The truth is the name is “Koh Kong Sauce”. Koh Kong is the name of the province next to Thailand. They called it this name because it is originated from this area where they have most delicious seafood.

What is different about this sauce because it does not contact fish sauce at all which contrasts to the name “Koh Kong fish sauce”.

Ingredients: the amount of ingredients depends on you. The correct taste must be sweeter

• Chili - 100g
• Garlic - 100g
• Lemon/ Lime - 5-7 lemons
• White Sugar - 300g-400g as per your preference
• Salt - 2-3 tablespoons

How to do:

1. Wash chili and lemon
2. Peel garlic’s skin
3. Cut the lemon
4. Then, put chili first in the mortar, crash it until it becomes juicy
5. Then, crash the garlic into the same mortar until it becomes juicy
6. Then, throw sugar and salt into the mortar
7. Finally, put the juice from the lemon into the mortar. Keep stirring till it is mixed and become juicy.
8. Taste them… be sure that they mix well and the sweeter and sour taste is right.
9. 
   
   
   
   

How to keep it:

• Put in the refrigerator for best quality for as long as you keep.
• Keep outside is okay too.

What you can eat this sauce with?

• Seafood, raw or cooked
• Roasted meat: chicken, becon

You “Koh Kong fish sauce” is looking delicious and mouth watering. I am so excited to try this at home. I will surely try to prepare this sauce.

[Sophia_Cambodia]

@Sandeepnirvan thank you. You can use the blender as well. Just have all ingredients ready and put them all in the blender.

[Sophia_Cambodia]

@Sandeepnirvan however, people believe using the mortar is more juicy and tasty

This looks like replacement for ‘Momos’ red chilly sauce

Should we put some preservative? How many days it can last in refrigerator?

[Sophia_Cambodia]

@PalashTheExplorer well it can last up to one year or more… but I bet you will not do in much amount. The juice came from the garlic and lemon so putting outside the refrigerator can last up to 2months…

Hello @Sophia_Cambodia that’s the problem . Just reading it and not eating that doesn’t do anything for the hunger .

Well I’ll say thanks either it’s virtual or not. It’s amazing how much we see on connect. New places and things and recipes etc.

Cheers

I’m glad you like my recipe. This is a bit tricky, the fish sauce without fish sauce @SholaIB . Many kinds of sauces in Cambodia uses fish sauce mixed with others but this one does not. The reason is because it is used with seafood, using fish sauce will attract stinky smell from seafood.

This recipe is making my mouth water. It looks spicy for my taste bud but the lime juice must be the cooler for that, I suppose. Can’t wait to try my salmon salad with the koh kong sauce @Sophia_Cambodia . Thank you for the wonderful recipe.

You are welcome dear, I am looking forward to hearing the results from you @SoniaK this sauce is very good for seafood and meat.
