I am also Cambodian American. Your channels allow me to be able to recreate my grandmother’s cooking a few years before the Cambodia fell under Pol Pot Regime. Because of the land of opportunities, I had a chance to enjoy food from fine European Restaurants on my international assignments,. Back home, didn’t feel cooking after work. Now, I am retired, I have looking for recipes that my grandmother used to cook. Your channels have been a bless in a sky. Thank you so much!
Beautiful presentation the food looks traditionally well cook 🇰🇭🥰the music and translation sound really relaxing . Thank you for sharing your talent and show the world about our Khmers gastronomies wish you more success🙏🏽🇰🇭💕🇰🇭🇰🇭🇰🇭🙏🏽
This is a wonderful video. I really enjoyed watching and listening. I really enjoy Cambodian food. This is one of my favorites. I also really like Samlaw Machu Kreung. Usually everything with Kreung I like most.
@@ThunThunChannel It's a must try and must have. Everyone I introduce it to loves it. It's just a very comforting dip because it eats like a meal, but doesn't make you feel heavy.
Yes, there a few suppliers that sell them on Etsy.com seasonally. You can leave them out or use regular Thai eggplants. If you use the Thai eggplants, add then at the end. The thing about pea eggplants is they still remain a bit snappy and crunchy after cooking it like this. Thank you so much for watching!
This looks so spicy and good. Since you are using prahok juice for this and not the prahok meat itself, do you think I use Pantai brand padaek as a sub or would the taste be entirely altered?
Pantai Padaek has a different flavor from this kind of chunky snakehead fish Padaek but it's going to serve the same purpose, that funky umami taste. If you can't get this brand, the Pantai brand will work but it will taste a bit different. I'm sure still good!
When you add a lot of fresh whole chilies like that I'm like, whoa~~ 🔥🔥🔥 that's spicy! My mom loves to put whole chilies like that when she makes a dipping too, ah you makes me miss her cooking 😂
You can adjust the amount of fish sauce you use and maybe mix in a bit of shrimp paste for more complex umami flavor. Prahok is definitely a main flavor for this dip though. Please keep in mind the flavor will be much different. Thank you
Great video but your recipe has errors, you have to know the modern history of Cambodia to know why even those born there are wrong too 😓. The cause is the dictatorship under《Khmer Republic》ruled by Lon Nol (put in place by the United States and South Korea), which had closed 80% of the country's schools, except 3 Taiwanese schools and other pro-USA schools in Phnom Penh, forcing majority of children to be soldiers + the genocide by 《Democratic Kampuchea》which never called itself 《Khmer Rouge》, occurring after the previous massacre and chaos. 1} The Khmers never use chicken soup powder in any of our dishes (it's imported from Thailand and the Philippines since the 2000's) ; it's just some people in the diaspora who don't have culinary knowledge, (but their videos have influenced Cambodian vloggers and their viewers). 2} This dish has only prahok as salt, no fish sauce. 3} The dried smoked fish we call 《trey chh'a ត្រីឆ្អើ》is missing. 4} Palm sugar is traditionally used, which can be replaced by cane, coconut or beet sugar if you live abroad. Now many Cambodians use imported beet because it is seen as a luxury product, but it hurts the local economy. 5} There is no oil in prahok ktis, kroeung and chili paste should be flavored in the fat part of coconut milk. 6} You have to grill the pea eggplant at the beginning in a pan, it will remain crunchy in addition to releasing flavor. 7} You must either add brown tamarind paste to the simmering dish / or sprinkle lime juice in your bowl individually. Hope you'll taste one day !
Thanks for your feedback ! Are you of Lao ethnicity from Isan in Thailand? Your food cooked a lot in this region and your profile picture make me think so. The Lao are light-skinned like the Han, and are more open to native Khmers from Surin, Buriram, Sisaket provinces + Cambodia. The Siamese are more tanned and many don't like us. The Mons & Kuy are brown too but nice 😛.

Awesome video as usual! One of my favorite dishes!
Thank you! It's also one of my favorites and doesn't last long at all 😅
it’s really weird in my fam the boys aren’t taught to cook so this is dope as hell to see.
Great video and keep up the good work! Prahok is my favorite dish (mouth watering). 🤤
Thank you!
Well done! I love using lots of prohok when I do this type of cooking. It tends to make people in my house disappeared very quickly though. 🤣
Thank you! I always say that the stinkier it is, the better! 😂
Great recipe, it's so colorful and looking yummy!
Thank you!
What a beautiful dish. I have never seen the pea eggplant before. Can that be ordered or is there a substitute?
Yes, there a few suppliers that sell them on Etsy.com seasonally. You can leave them out or use regular Thai eggplants. If you use the Thai eggplants, add then at the end. The thing about pea eggplants is they still remain a bit snappy and crunchy after cooking it like this. Thank you so much for watching!
Somehow this video went under my radar for a week, but I found it in the end! Looks good, Thun Thun.
No worries 😁 Thanks for taking time to stop by Ryan! Have a good day
I like to cook but Prahok Kris is my first time. I attempted learn how to make Cambodian Prahok Kris.
My favorite dish
Facebook brought me here. Subscribed.
Welcome and thank you for coming by! I post new videos every Saturday 9am EST.
Very nice 👍 my favorite, just subscribed
Thank you so much! 🙏
Phnom penh noodles recipe?
Love your work
Thank you, I enjoy making these videos!
Where did you get your wok? TIA
Today, I made Prohok Ktiss. It tastes yummy after I had long hours working.
I think , You are a good teacher and have shown how to cook step by step. Thun , did you know how to make amoak? If so , please.
Hi
Love your video. I am I found your channel. Where do you buy that woke and that big dried peppers from?
Hello, thank you for watching! I bought the wok from my local Asian grocery store. I got the big dried chilis (guajillo) from Amazon website.
Why don't you use a sieve for the fish paste
I am Khmer so Khmer foods when I have to cook it
Recipevis legit
How come they don’t have pea eggplant on Amazon? I type in pea eggplant and turkey berry. Still didn’t pop up.
Hi❤
This looks so spicy and good. Since you are using prahok juice for this and not the prahok meat itself, do you think I use Pantai brand padaek as a sub or would the taste be entirely altered?

♥️♥️♥️
What pan are you using? Looks non stick but can use metal spatulas on it. And do like your vids. Keep up the good work.
Hi Andrew, thank you for watching! The brand is Myland. I can't seem to find it online though. I got it as a gift.
When you add a lot of fresh whole chilies like that I'm like, whoa~~ 🔥🔥🔥 that's spicy!
My mom loves to put whole chilies like that when she makes a dipping too, ah you makes me miss her cooking 😂
A mom's cooking is always the best. I love to put ลูกโดด in my dips as well. I think the spicier the better 😁 Thank you for watching !
@@ThunThunChannel I love ลูกโดด too, even sometimes it hurts me so much 🤣
🙏🏻🙏🏻👍🏻👍🏻🌷
What do you suggest if one is allergic to prahok though?
You can adjust the amount of fish sauce you use and maybe mix in a bit of shrimp paste for more complex umami flavor. Prahok is definitely a main flavor for this dip though. Please keep in mind the flavor will be much different. Thank you
My mom used anchovies
May I know, when is this prahok ktis usually served?
It's usually eaten as a snack but it can also be a side with rice for meals like lunch or dinner.
😊😊😊😊
Personally as my own preference i would have toasted those mini eggplants first and then throw it in after.
That’s a good tip. Thank youn
This kind of thing makes me wish I had have been born with teeth.
Ok I was not expecting to hear English loll
