  • Nite Yun of Nyum Bai in Oakland, California, makes fish amok, one of Cambodia’s national dishes. Nite starts by making kroeung, a Cambodian spice paste, with lemongrass, galangal, garlic, and more. She then coats codfish with the spice paste, chiles, coconut milk and eggs before placing the fish and curry mixture into individual banana leaf pockets and steaming it until cooked. Lastly, she tops the flaky, aromatic fish with more coconut milk to serve. Check out the recipe here: www.vice.com/e...

    My mom used kroeung with a lot of our home cooking. Every time I smell it, it takes me back helping my mom cooking and trying to understand her "measuring" method of just eyeballing it. Repsect to Nite Yun and Nyum Bai.

    The Cambodian dish is named Amok because the Cambodian word for pound is “Bok” and our word for the old steaming basket used is “Smok”. This ancient Cambodian dish is made of pounded (Bok) spices and fish and steamed in a basket (Smok) and when garnished and served becomes a beautifully presented dish of the royal court known as our national dish, Amok. The rhyming of “Amok” with "Bok" and "Smok" is due to the lyrical and poetic nature of the Cambodian language filled with conjoined termed, onomatopoeias and rhyme evident in our ancient temple inscriptions and folk songs.

    • @ancientgardensculinaryarts2183
      @ancientgardensculinaryarts2183 ปีที่แล้ว +4

      When it comes to Southeast Asian cuisine, the telltale sign of origin is that this dish is made by every Cambodian grandmother throughout the country from family recipes passed down for generations. Thais' connection to this dish is mainly through street vendors and restaurants. This is where the confusion lies because it is a common practice for Asian street vendors and restaurateurs to seek out new flavors from other countries that are popular with tourists to bring back home. Non-western dishes confuses their customers to think they are trying one of their traditional or regional dishes since most Thai households are modern and come from different regions of Thailand. This has been happening since ancient times when those exotic dishes would only be designated for the royal court and Emperor to consume.

      Sometimes just covering the curry with a lid will help retain the flavours in the pan & infuse more in the meat. It is the simple rule of "If you can smell it during cooking, then those are lost flavours."
