Cambodian Beef Sour Soup Recipe

If you spend most of your time on a low-carb diet, you may be surprised to learn that rice is one of the hardest carbs to avoid. While it can be part of a healthy diet, it can also contain more carbs than you think. As a result, recipes that make use of cooked rice (often with vegetables) are often called for in low-carb diet cookbooks. This is a quick soup that can be put together in under half an hour. It is full of vegetables, out of the way of most high-carb ingredients, and you can skip the rice and serve it without any guilt.

With the weather warming up here in Cambodia, I’m starting to fill my fridge with more and more of this type of soup. The great thing about this recipe is that it’s so versatile. This version of the beef sour soup is a bit spicy, more so than my typical version, but it’s a more mild version than what you’d find in Thailand. The soup is flavored with the typical Cambodian sour fish sauce, called nước mắm… which really gives the recipe a nice hint of sweet and sour flavor. I’ve had this soup many times in northern Thailand and it’s one of my favorites. Just try not to eat too much!

The Cambodian beef sour soup is a popular dish enjoyed by many Khmer people, especially in the Angkor Wat area. The sourness comes from lemongrass, which is eaten with the soup. It is usually eaten with steamed rice and a garlic and fish sauce dip. The dish is full of flavor and is ideal for those who have a weak stomach.

In Khmer, samlor machou kroeung sach ko (beef and morning glory soup) is known as samlor machou kroeung sach ko (beef and morning glory soup). It’s simple to prepare at home, and the seasonings may be adjusted to suit your preferences.
