CAMBODIAN SWEET AND SOUR FISH
My entire family loves this dish. I grill thick salmon steaks in a grill pan, but it can be cooked on a barbecue, or sauteed in a cast iron skillet. I have made this with whole tilapias and with halibut. I have seasoned the fish with Old Bay and once with a fish rub instead of the salt and pepper. You can actually use just about any kind of fish you like, as long as it will hold its shape after cooking. Once, I only had 2 shallots on hand, so I used 1 small red onion along with the 2 shallots. I have used 1 large jalapeno pepper, seeded and chopped finely, when out of Thai chilies. When out of fresh ginger, I have used 1 1/2 Tbsp of jarred, pickled ginger, chopped. No tomatoes? leave them out. You can use apple cider vinegar instead of rice wine vinegar. As you can see, this dish is very forgiving. I cook the topping in a separate skillet alongside and it is ready right as the fish is. This meal cooks up in 10 minutes, looks and tastes great.

SWEET AND SOUR FISH
I really enjoy eating this dish but it just takes so long to make it. The only things I change is I left out the egg and used milk to dip the fish and I used vegetable oil as I couldn't find groundnut oil. I also use can pineapple so I can use the juice. This recipe comes from a book called 'The Asian Kitchen' (The best of Chinese and Far Eastern cooking) by Lilian Wu

SOMLOR MACHOO YUNE (KHMER CAMBODIAN HOT & SOUR SOUP)
This two stage recipe is easy to prepare. The recipe looks difficult but is actually not that hard. I've been told that this soup is very common in Cambodia and just about everyone has their own way to preparing it. Can be served with jasmine rice on the side for adding to the soup.

Steps:
- Roast the onion, garlic, and ginger under a broiler until charred, about 10 minutes.
- Place all stock ingredients in a stockpot except the fish sauce, and bring to a boil over medium-high heat. Skim off the scum that rises to the surface.
- Reduce to a slow simmer. After 15 minutes, remove from heat, and cool.
- Remove the chicken and let cool (3/4 lb chicken meat can be shredded, chilled and used later in soup next day).
- Return the bones to the pot with the roasted vegetables and add the fish sauce. Return stock to a simmer. Cover and simmer for about 1 1/2 hours.
- Remove from heat. Skim as much fat off the top as possible, and strain through cheesecloth. Let the stock cool to room temperature. Refrigerate overnight.
- Remove the top layer of fat. You can freeze the stock in ice cube trays, and then store the stock cubes in sealable plastic bags for use whenever you need it.
- When ready to finish soup, combine the chicken stock, lemongrass, fish sauce, sugar, galangal and salt in a large pot and bring to a boil.
- Add the pineapple, lotus root and tomato. Return to a boil then reduce to a simmer and continue cooking until the vegetables are tender (about 10 minutes).
- Add the tamarind juice then gently stir-in the chicken. Return the mixture to a simmer and cook for 10 minutes.
- Meanwhile, add the oil to a small pan and heat over high heat. Use this to fry the garlic until just browned then add to the soup.
- Stir in the basil and cilantro. Allow to wilt for 1 minute and take off the heat.
- Add the egg(s), stirring them into the soup.
- Serve the soup ladled into warmed soup bowls and garnished with the birds' eye chillies. Make sure each guest has one hard boiled egg in their bowl.
