HOW TO MAKE CAMBODIAN FOOD # PROHOK KTIS

PROHOK : fermented fish
Ktis: coconut milk/ coconut cream
There are many versions of how to make PROHOK Ktis base on the region and households (Not all Cambodian families cook the same way or use the same ingredients)
In this video, I’m sharing my mom’s recipes that she cooked for us many years. My mom still doesn’t want to show her face in my TH-cam videos but since this is her recipe I recorded her secretly ( still she caught me filming her 😁)
In this recipe you will need :
- 3 pounds ground pork= 1.36 kg( 2 pounds of regular ground pork+ 1 pound of ground pork belly)
We need some fat so that out PROHOK Ktis is not too dried .
- 2 tablespoons of PROHOK ( If you like PROHOK you can add more but you have to cut down on the fish sauce)
- 5 tablespoons of sugar /palm sugar
- 5 tablespoons of red chili paste ( Check out my video how to make red chili paste)
- 1 cup of coconut milk = 240 ml
- 2 tablespoons of dried shrimps ( If you have Cambodian smoked fish is even better)
- 3 tablespoons of cooking oil
- 1 tablespoon of chicken flavor soup mix ( substitute for MSG)
- 2 tablespoons of fish sauce
- 1 cup of water

[@sonitamong]

It’s our family ‘s favorite food. Please let me know after you tried my recipe and if you have any questions please feel free to let me know in the comments. I’m going to do my best to respond back to you as soon as I can.

Hi, can you please tell me where I can get red chili paste? I will appreciate if you also show me the picture of bottle. Thanks in advance.

[@sonitamong]

I didn’t buy the red chili paste, I make my own chili paste. You can check out my red chili paste video.

We like that frying pan/wok. Where can we get it?

[@sonitamong]

I got it from the Korean supermarket but it also available in most Asian grocery store. If you’re living in Asia , I think they might have it in the supermarket.

[@raiya1114]

What about lemongrass and lime leaf, I thought that is part of the ingredients.

[@sonitamong]

@Raiya, you can add lemongrass and lime leaves , it’s up to you and your family preference.

No garlic?

[@sonitamong]

Hi Molica, the garlic is in the red chili paste. You can check out another video of mine of how to make Khmer red chili paste ( it has garlic, shallots and dried red chili, salt and a bit of water to help with blending)

[@zhoubaidinh403]

@@sonitamong Excellent... what about substituting shrimp paste for pro hok

[@sonitamong]

@@zhoubaidinh403 , we did use Prorhok for this recipe. There’s another video of a different food called Kapi Chha Kruerng mates krorhom. For PROHOK Ktis we only use PROHOK no shrimp paste. Thanks for pointing it out 😊
