Cambodia... Yum...

I found it fitting that while one of my best friends is doing humanitarian work in Cambodia that we try a recipe or two from there! The meal was delectable! We had Cambodian Marinated Beef with Lime Sauce and Nhuem (Cambodian Cabbage Salad) and Jasmine rice. SO GOOD!

So I actually marinated everything the night before, so... yeah, the longer you can marinate, the better!

:)

Anyhoo, here are the recipes. They are SUPER easy!

Cambodian Marinated Beef with Lime Sauce
serves 2-4

1 T. sugar
2 T. lime juice
1 1/2 t. fresh ground pepper
1 t. water
2 T. soy sauce
2 T. canola oil
7 garlic cloves, crushed
1 1/2 lb. sirloin

Combine sugar, 1 t. pepper, soy sauce,  and garlic. Stir well. Add beef. Mix to coat. Marinate for at least 1 hour.

Combine remaining pepper with lime juice and water. Place in small serving bowl.

Saute beef in oil, three to four minutes until medium rare. Serve over jasmine rice (or any kind of rice) with sauce.

Nhuem (Cambodian Cabbage Salad)
serves 4-6

1 small-medium cabbage
1 sm. package glass noodles (rice noodles), cooked
1/3 lb. (or 1 can) chicken, shredded
1 bunch green onions
1 c. peanuts, crushed

Sauce:

3/4 c. soy sauce
3/4 c. vinegar
3/4 c. sugar
3/4 c. water
4-5 cloves garlic, minced

Combine salad ingredients, chill. Blend sauce ingredients, pour over salad right before serving. Toss to blend.

Try these, even if you're not the best cook. They're super easy recipes and amazingly good!
