Amazing Cambodian Dishes!

,

In our fantastic Cambodian cooking class, we had the chance to make some really tasty meals! My favourite dishes usually have noodles, so I chose to make fried noodles with beef so I know how to make it. I also love desserts, so we learned how to make a yummy dessert with a pumpkin! I really enjoyed learning how to make these dishes and can’t wait to make them at home.

  1. Hi Mikhaila,
    Love the recipes and the way you gave the step by step directions!!! I I really love the idea of the dessert in the pumpkin. When you are steaming the dessert, do you cover the pot for steaming , or do you leave the pot un covered? Do you serve this dessert hot, warm, or cold? Love, Baba

      Hi Baba,

      The pot does need to be covered when you are steaming the dessert, and it can be served at any temperature. I think it would be nice with ice cream. 🙂

      Hello Herta,

      The presentation was really nice, especially the carrot cut to look like a flower. These were really tasty meals and I enjoyed making them.

  3. Hi, Mikhaila, both recipes look very tasty, I wouldn’t mind trying them. Love your description and photos, everything looks and sounds so easy. The pumpkin dessert looks amazing. Thank you for a great posting. Lots of hugs

    1. PS, I love the carrot flowers you have to show me how to … when you get back 🙂
