- Today we head to a village in Battambang, Cambodia where we learn how to cook traditional Khmer dishes, and the stories behind Khmer cuisine.
We learn that Cambodia’s traditional cuisine has gone through various changes, especially because of the war. Our local chef Vanak’s goal is to try and preserve the authentic Khmer cuisine and culture for future generations in Cambodia.
We start by going to a local market about 5 kilometers from Battambang where we acquire the ingredients for our food. Cambodian food is based on various elements such as coconuts, fish, meat and vegetables.
Our first Khmer dish is a Mango Salad. Vanak tells us various stories behind Cambodian food, from choosing the correct ingredients to why breakfast is only a new thing in Cambodia.
We then make one of Cambodia’s national dishes- the Fish Amok. We use a traditional clay pot to steam the amok. Our final Khmer dish is the Beef Lok lak.
Our favorite part of today is when we sit down with the family and eat what we have cooked. We share our stories of travel and experiences with each other and hope that we can introduce our families to Khmer cuisine one day.

Which was your favorite part of this video? 🥰
I love eat amok but, the guy forgot put one fevorite leave noni leaf under amok 😊.
Listening to Vanak sharing the history behind Khmer dishes but also watching how each dish was made. Delicious!
@@nysam6520👏👏😍🫶🇰🇭
This was a great video and the fact you are cooking unique food is a great accomplishment. Did you find it hard to cook this food ?
I’m also Cambodian people ❤
I’m really excited went u came to visit our country ❤ thanks you very very much ❤
It’s awesome that you wanted to learn and show authentic Khmer cooking to the world. It’s a great video. As you eluded to, much of Khmer culinary skills were lost during the genocide and Cambodian foods have evolved to adapt to the needs and ingredient availability. Food preparation is also very regional. For example what you had was not beef Lok Lak. It was just a stir fry beef with morning glory. Authentic Khmer Lok Lak is a dry pan seared cubes of black peppered beef fillet (medium rare and tender) served over slices of green tomatoes. Black pepper and lime sauce is used for dipping the beef. Marion’s Kitchen CZcams channel does a great job on her Cambodian Lok Lak cooking. Fish Amok has also evolved to speed up the preparation and cooking time. It used to be greener in color instead of red. Sliced Noni leaves were used as part of the main ingredients. It used to be steamed in an enclosed pyramid shape banana leaves. (BTW, the picture of the Lok Lak you had before used to be called Beef Stuck).
Hi! Thanks a lot for the insight. Often food and culture goes hand in hand, and it is so interesting to learn about the regional varieties in food preparation, and how they have changed over time. We really love how Cambodians take pride in their culture, and especially Khmer food. It has it's own unique elements and style that makes it a unique form of cuisine, and we are glad that some day we can cook some of these dishes for our families in another part of the world.

Wow, awesome video thank you for coming to Cambodia and learning about our cuisine. Your video is great and detailed about living life in the countryside but your music background is a bit too loud especially when you speak if you can reduce it, that'd be better. Anyway thank you for coming to Cambodia and hope you enjoy your life in Cambodia.❤

សួរស្តី❤❤
Hello 🥰

Hi, Vannak speaks good English. Has he lived abroad before?
He's speaking fluent English. 👏👏😍🫶🇰🇭
Yes his English was excellent. In fact he told us that he learnt it during his time in Thailand, when his family had to take shelter there after the war. He has done an amazing job learning and mastering the language, and now his son speaks great English as well. And he was such a good teacher as well, very patient and kind 😊
The Khmer guy that says Cambodia does not have a market before the war is wrong. in the cities, khmer people always went to the markets to buy fresh products/produces to cook. I don't understand what he meant.
❤👍
22:58 no, it’s not a beef loklak 😅 it’s Char Krueng Sachkow😅😅
The comment about khmer people doesn't eat breakfast before the khmer rouge make zero sense to me because both my grandparents who live in Phnom Penh for a long time before the war said that everyone having breakfast before going to work in the Songkom era.
I think the last one wasn't beef Lok Lak.
