Khmer Mum Lahong

There are many famous dishes to eat in the Khmer cuisine. One of them is “Kour kraeng” which is a dish made from eggplant and pork. In this dish, the eggplant is cooked with pork and then the eggplant is cooked again with pork. There is another type of dish made from pork called “Kour kraeng”.

As a mom and a writer of Asian food blogs, I’ve been for long time an advocate of local and organic ingredients. I believe that these ingredients come with a better quality and with a better taste. However, I also understand that not everyone would be able to afford the organic, local ingredients or that some prefer to have their food and ingredients cooked in the regular way.

This is a blog about food, recipes, cooking, gardening, and traveling in the beautiful Cambodian countryside. I will share recipes, cooking tips, stories about Cambodia and the food that we eat there, and a little bit of my travel adventures.

Mum Lahong is a Khmer food that goes well with sticky rice, normal rice, or simply by itself. This dish is also well-known in Vietnam.

Ingredients

1 tiny papaya (lahong) sliced into a long strip
2 teaspoons of salt
2 teaspoons palm sugar
1 tablespoon of liquid
1/3 cup galangal, minced
a third of a cup of toasted rice
12 tablespoon Mam Ca Sac Xay (Vietnamese Mam Ca Sac Xay)
1 teaspoon powdered tamarind
salt (1 tablespoon)
10 chilies (fresh)

Making Khmer Mum Lahong: Step-by-Step Instructions

1. Let’s start with this step: dissolve salt in warm water and soak the Lahong overnight to soften the texture. Wash it a couple times the following day till it is clean. This procedure softens the Lahong and removes any sticky texture it may have.
2. Mix everything but the chilies together in a large mixing basin with your hands until thoroughly combined, then add 10 chillies.
3. Mum Lahong is ready to serve if she is placed in a jar and left out for 2 to 3 days.

Serve with a side of rice.

Enjoy
