Recipe adapted from Primal Grill with Steve Raichlen on PBS.
INGREDIENTS Nutrition

SERVINGS 4 UNITS US
4 ears sweet corn
1 cup of unsweetened light coconut milk
2 tablespoons brown sugar
2 -3 bay leaves
1 teaspoon salt
1⁄2 teaspoon pepper
cilantro (garnish)

Preheat grill to med-high heat. Oil if necessary.
On the stovetop, combine coconut milk, sugar, bay leaves, salt and pepper.
Simmer uncovered for 5-7 minutes, until sugar is dissolved.
Carefully peel back the corn husks and remove the silk from each ear of corn.
Using a long strand of husk, tie back the ends of the husks – this creates a handle with which to eat the corn.
Fold a piece of aluminum foil a few times to create a grill guard.
Place each piece of corn on the grill. The husks should sit on the foil so they don’t burn.
Grill the corn, rotating every 2 minutes to ensure it’s evenly browned.
Baste the corn with the coconut milk mixture, rotating every minute or so until each ear has been coated twice.
Remove corn from the grill, baste one more time and serve with cilantro garnish.

Beef Lok Lak (Cambodian Recipe)

TOTAL TIME

I ate lots of Lok Lak on a recent holiday to Cambodia. It's similar to Vietnamese Shaking Beef although the Cambodians don't like to admit that. In Cambodia it might come with chips (fries) and a fried egg or rice-I liked the rice option. You eat it by wrapping portions of the meat and salad ingredients in a lettuce leaf, then dipping that in the dipping sauce (the best part of it I reckon). Sometimes the meat is sliced, sometimes it's cubed-I prefer slices. Semi ripe tomatoes are preferred to ripe ones, but use what you have!

Recipe: The national dish of Cambodia – Amok trey

RECIPE: THE NATIONAL DISH OF CAMBODIA - FISH AMOK


PRINT
PREP TIME
45 mins
COOK TIME
25 mins
TOTAL TIME
1 hour 10 mins

Serves: 4
INGREDIENTS
kroeung
2 stalks lemongrass, thinly sliced use only the bottom 8 cm of the stalk
1 tbsp galangal
1 tsp turmeric
5 leaves kaffir lime, thinly sliced. Save 2 leaves for garnishing. Also called Makrut lime leaf. Can be replaced by a squeeze of fresh lime.
6 garlic cloves
the rest
300 g carp fillet, snakehead fish is the traditional choice
200 ml coconut milk
1 egg yolk
1 tbsp shrimp paste
1 tsp chili pepper
½ cayenne pepper, seed removed and thinly sliced for garnishing
5 leaves chinese cabbage, nhor leaf is the traditional choice in Cambodia
3 tbsp shallots
4 garlic cloves
1 tbsp brown sugar
¼ tsp salt
1 tbsp soy sauce
2 tbsp oil
INSTRUCTIONS
In a mortar, pound the lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, turmeric, garlic and salt into a fine paste. This is called the kroeung.
If you are using a food processor, put the easiest-to-grind ingredients in first. The liquid that forms will help to process the other harder-to-blend ingredients or add a few teaspoons of water to make the blending easier.
Add shrimp paste and dried chili. Continue to pound until well mixed. Put aside.
If you want to serve the Amok in a traditional fashion, take a large banana leaf and cut out 4 square pieces of 20 cm each. Place all the leaves together and cut off the corner tips diagonally. Each dish container will need two squares to prevent the mixture from leaking when steaming. Place two squares together and fold the long sides up about 3 cm to pleat and make a corner. Using a short toothpick, pin both the folded parts together. Repeat this for all sides of the leaves until you get a square bowl.
In a wok, heat up the vegetable oil. Add chopped garlic and shallot, stirring until fragrant. Add the kroeung and 3 tablespoons of coconut cream. Then add the palm sugar, fish sauce, salt, chicken powder and fish. Cook for about a minute, add the remaining coconut cream (keep one tablespoon for the final garnish) and stir until it thickens and reaches boiling point. Remove from the heat and set aside.
Place nhor leaves at the bottom of each serving bowl. Pour the cooked fish mixture over and add the egg yolk. Pour the remaining coconut cream and top the dish with thinly sliced kaffir lime leafs and cayenne pepper.
In a steamer, place the Amok mixture and steam for 7-10 minutes.
Serve immediately with steamed rice or bread.
Note:
You can use chicken as a substitute but you will need to cook it slightly longer.
For vegetarians, you can use tofu and more soy sauce (or Golden Mountain Sauce) to substitute the shrimp paste.
In Cambodia, Amok is steamed and served in bowls made out of banana leafs. Coconut shells, scooped out pumpkins or ceramic bowls can also be used.
