Khmer Bistro
Cambodian cooking can be very complicated. To prepare healthy tasty meal it consumes quite some time because freshness is our concern.
Our base ingredients are blended spices and herbs which are mostly from the rice field. Mr.Frits, a Dutchman who is the owner of Cambodian cooking school said “some guide books say that Cambodia’s cuisine is nothing to write home about. Now, that is completely untrue. A thousand years ago the Khmer Kingdom, which centered on Angkor, ruled an empire that included most of south-east Asia. Hence, many of the Thai and other regional dishes have their roots in Khmer cooking from that time! Khmer recipes go back to the days before the introduction of the chilli, so are consequently much milder than most Asian food. The chilli was unknown in Asia until the 16th century when it arrived with the Portuguese. Cambodian cuisine contains very little fat, making it one of the world’s healthiest cuisines.” As you can see our menu below, lots of vegetables, herbs and fish. NOTE: There are no measurement provided for these recipes yet. I am planning to work on it when time allowed. In the mean time, I tried to have all the basic ingredients listed.

You are not only a great writer, but a great cook as well.
You are “Lec Muay Khmer = Number One Khmer”! Thank you!:-)

Thank you Rumtum
You are free to eat them.
December 2nd, 2007 at 1:05 pm
The food looks great. Would there a chance for you to write recipes for the food? I’m interesting in cooking Khmer food as a Khmer myself.
January 16th, 2008 at 11:32 am
Dear anonymous,
Welcome! Thank you for your interest in Khmer cooking.
I am planning to work on my Khmer recipe. It might be awhile. In the mean time, I will list the basic ingredients.
January 16th, 2008 at 12:07 pm
Oh My god the food look so delouses, it make me want to go there and try all the food. Wow khmer food is very good and tasty and yummy!!!!!!.
January 16th, 2008 at 6:15 pm
Chhorvy,
yes, Khmer food is not only tasty but healthy as well.
January 16th, 2008 at 10:22 pm
Hi,
I saw this recipe posted and wonder if you have a recipe for both Mamm Shrimp with papaya and Mamm pickled fish with papaya.
Thank you
Mamm Khmer: Cambodian pickled shrimp and papaya.

Dear Vonny,
Suo sdey!
Thanks for stopping by. As I mentioned in my last post, I am planning to work on my recipes when time allowed. It will be awhile. Do stop by for other surprises.
January 20th, 2008 at 9:40 pm
look so yummy. Thks very much for sharing. I really miss those Khmer dishes very much.
btw, i wonder why there are so few Khmer restaurant in the States as well as other part of the globe.
January 22nd, 2008 at 4:14 pm
Dear Sovannaphume,
Thank you. Go ahead and pick your favorite menu.
Most Khmer restaurants are located in the big cities. And from what I heard, there are plenty of them in Tokyo.
January 22nd, 2008 at 8:25 pm
Well, I love most of them.
In Japan, I found only one Khmer restaurant in Tokyo known “Angkor Thom restaurant” of professor Pen Setharin . A couple restaurants in Japan are not enough compare to other countries.
Researchers have found that tourist comes to visit Japan because they want to test Japanese dishes. Reflect to this reason, we can say that food of one country is unique and play an important role as a key factor to attract the tourist as well. Both decoration and flavor must be considered and improved.
You have done a great job. Pls keep up your work for your suitable time.
January 23rd, 2008 at 8:39 am
Dear Sovannaphume,
You’re right, I am in agreement with that. Taste and presentation are important. Cooking is also and an art.

February 26th, 2008 at 1:34 pm
I look at your website, you are a great cook and more… I hope to see your recipe soon. I am Khmer I came to the US in 1982. I love Khmer food. I know how to cook alot of foods and I can tell that you are a good chief. I will come back to check out your web soon. Today I teach cooking class in Seattle Everett and I know that not many Cambodain food is posted for recipe. When I teach my students only ask me for Thai foods, but I always tell them that Cambodian foods taste better than spicy Thai foods. I teach Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Camodian, and Mexican foods, but I eat Cambodian foods daily.
Thanks for posting your website.

Jum reab suo Ms. Tevy,
Welcome to our site. Thank you for your kind comment. I don’t know if I am a good cook but when I have time, I do try to perfect my dish.
Ms. Tevy do you have your own cooking school? You mentioned that you cook a lot and other ethnic food, WOW! Is there a chance that we can glance at your food?:)
You’re absolutely right, there aren’t many Khmer recipes online. I hope we will have more.

March 24th, 2008 at 7:56 pm
If you don’t mind me asking you where do you live in what city or country? I used to teach cooking school before, but today I only teach at my home in Everett. I don’t keep the money that I make. I help many families and friends in Cambodia. Today I send 3 kids to collge and English school and feed many hungry families. I feel that I have more than enough in America, My husband and I just want to help many of Cambodian who are in need of help. You can check out my web at the above. I don’t have as beautiful pictures of food as what you did, but I raise enough money to help feed the families and friends in Cambodia and that all what I want to do for now. If you want to ask me anymore question please email to me in my own email address I would be glad to talk with you. Keep up your good work and I will come back from time to time to check out your site.
Take care
Tevy
March 25th, 2008 at 6:32 am

hi. wow…i miss khmer food!!! i dont cook much and would love to learn. i can make a few dishes but just the simple stir fry. even worse, i dont live near any khmer people or stores. hard to find what im looking for but im not going to quit… got to learn how to cook great Khmer food. my husband Native american and he loves the luk lak i make so thats a plus!! thanks for putting up recipes.. it’s very incouraging =)
March 26th, 2008 at 10:00 pm
Jum reab suo Srey,
Aw kun bahn chol mok leng.
It must be difficult to cook not having enough Khmer ingredient around. I understand how much you miss Khmer food. What Khmer food do you want to make and you miss the most?
The luk lak that I have is quite high on calorie, good for kids and I think foreigners would like it.
Should you have any question about Khmer food, leave us a message. When we get plenty of requests, satrey Khmer Online will set up a schedule for food discussion in the chatroom.
See you again.

Oh my gosh…you’re such a life saver i’ve been wanting to learn all these recipes i’ve been cravin’ for. I might be cambodian but I don’t know how to cook cambodian foods besides stir fries. Thanks for teaching me now all I have to do is to get my husband to eat it ’cause he’s not cambodian LoL.
March 27th, 2008 at 12:43 pm
Mrs.Sovanny
Welcome to satrey Khmer Online. Glad you find our recipe helpful. Most of us begin with basic cooking, char and sngouw (stir fry and simple soup). It’s quick and easy. As time goes on, we get bored with the same flavor. Well, our Khmer dish has them all, from basic to the most complicated ones. The more complicate, the tastier it is.
Your dear husband might want to try kari monn. It is one of Cambodia’s tasty dish. The light sweet, cocconut, and nutty flavor seems to attract many people.

Pics are so lovely. Now I have some ideas of what I am going to cook tomorrow.
Really thank you!

Dear Pheng Sokunthea,
Welcome! Help yourself, the food is always available in our kitchen(site) hehe. With our rich and flavory food, it seems that we can’t get away from our taste and instinct. It must be hard not having our native food around. Good luck to you.

My name is Kathy R. work at the Cambodian Association of IL. non-profit provide social Service to the cambodian Community in Chicago. My project call the National Cambodian American Diabetes Project (NCADP) work with four project sit in the United States. To promote and educate on diabetes and it complications, diabetes is a major concern within Cambodian American communities. It has been reported that Cambodians are six times more likely to die of diabetes than the general population in the United States.

Thank you for putting all your wonderful recipe and picture, now it’ll be easy for me to talk about healthy food and good for them. I’ll come back again to your website for more Cambodian recipe and picture. Happy New Year & Day of Rememberance
April 21st, 2008 at 12:04 pm
Jum reab suo ms.Kathy,
Thank you for your visit. Great to know active Cambodian!
The number of Khmer diabetes as you stated came as a surprise. I didn’t know that this is one of the major cause in our community.
Cambodian diet is known to be very healthy and rich in vitamin. Perhaps, living in US could also mean a change in eating habit?
I have talked to Khmer elders who are in the 80’s and 90’s years old. Words advice from them is to eat a lot of FISH! Traditional dish would be Tirk kreoung(Khmer pounded fish dip) with steam and fresh vegetables and pounded sun dried fish(trei`ngeat). These are there main diet. Drink lots of water and eat fruit as a snack.
April 21st, 2008 at 6:40 pm
Do you know of any hardcover cookbooks (with pictures/illustrations) that exist devoted solely to Khmer cooking other than The Elephant Walk cookbook?
Any suggestions are greatly appreciated. Thank you in advance.

My answer to your question: “What are you specifically looking for, cookbook written in Khmer or Khmer food in english?” is either or. Both are welcomed in my household. It’s especially appealing if it has illustrations or pictures associated with the recipes.
Thanks again.
Romduol
P.S. Why don’t you publish a cookbook?
May 4th, 2008 at 8:34 pm
Suo sdey sis Romduol,
Thank you for answering my question. Speaking of Khmer cookbooks, we haven’t seen many around. Although, there are some in Khmer but not with photo illustration. If there is, I’ll keep you posted.
“Why don’t you publish a cookbook?” Thank you for your suggestion. I don’t think am I am qualified to publish a cookbook, I am not near professional yet. There is so much to learn about Khmer cuisine. Authentic Khmer dishes require time and practice. Cambodian have too many wonderful complex recipes. What we are eating everyday is just the basic, stir fry, soup…
There are much more than that.

hi!
I would like to try the dishes once i visit cambodia.
I’m malaysian-cambodian. Although the dishes looks similar with my mom’s cook, i would like to try your dishes!
But i can’t find beef sweet soup from your menu. Sweet soup ingredients are bamboo shoot, brown sugar, black pepper, beef right? Egg and mushroom also can. Non-muslim normally using pork for this soup.
Khmer cuisine are really delicous, great and healthy! I wish to open a Khmer dishes restaurant at Malaysia one day based on my mom’s cook but i wanna get some knowledge about the dishes from you as well.
Keep up your good work!
August 21st, 2008 at 10:18 pm
Dear Sofrina,
Jum reab suo!
I am not exactly sure what you are requesting but to my best guess, I think you are talking about “Khor Ko” caramelized beef, it has most of the ingredients that you listed.
If you can let me know the name of the dish, satrey Khmer Online will work on the recipe.
BTW, are there many Khmer restaurants in Malaysia? If you do open Khmer restaurant, I will be one of your customer.

Hi This is Ming Tevy I talk with you last time. I saw your somlor somlok look so good I will try it this week. I just got back from few countries and camping for the summer. I have been busy teaching my class also. I am glad you put down the Cambodian cooking class in PP. I took few of my American friends and my families there when I was there. All my American friends loved it, but my families thought it was ok. Anyway I thought it was kind of ok because I know most of the foods. I even let many of Americans who went to visit know about that cooking class. I am so very proud of you for keep up the good work of Khmer recipe. I came back from time to time just to see what you have for me to cook for Khmer food. You make the picture look so yummy and tasty that I have to go to the store and find the ingredients to cook which is what I will do when I teach the class this week just for myself not for my students.
Take care and keep up your good work for the delicious Khmer food.

Hi there:)
The pictures of Khmer food looks so tasty
I was wondering whether you know where I can get cookbooks written in the Cambodian language instead? And I’m referring to Western or Chinese etc recipes (it doesn’t matter).
This is for a Cambodian friend of mine who can only read in Khmer
Maybe any online website that sells these books? Because I can;t possibly fly to Cambodia..
Thanks for your help in advance
September 4th, 2008 at 7:28 pm
Suo sdey ming Tevy,
Glad to hear from you. Welcome back and thanks for the great comments.
Somlor somlok is very delicious. Try adding dried shrimps, it gives a lot of flavor. I hope you like the recipe.
Cambodian cooking class is well known, I have never been to the class but I heard that many westerners liked it.
