Cambodian Beef Broth with Herbs

If you’re interested in making your own vegan beef stock, you’ve probably come across the concept of using “beef bones” to create this savory stock. While this method of making stock is common in many cultures, I have not seen a recipe featuring a recipe using the actual beef pieces themselves.

When it comes to cooking, I’m a humbler cook than I am a chef. If you looked behind the curtain, it would be apparent that I’m a cook who cooks, not a cook who cooks well. But I believe that having a variety of cooking skills makes for a better cook. No matter how simple or complex the recipe, if you can’t follow through you’ll never get the results you’re after.

Visiting Cambodian restaurants around the world is a favourite pastime for many people, as the exotic flavours of Khmer dishes are rarely replicated. In fact, a selection of “Khmer” dishes can be found at any restaurant in the world.
