[koolpebble]

Hi, bong!  This boklahong looks really good. I'm gonna try it once you upload a video on the homemade sauce. I can make boklahong but it never comes out the way the vendors make it at wat. I hope your homemade sauce is the missing piece of the puzzle. Hehe. Well, happy Cambodian new year, bong!

[forg3tm3not770]

Happy Khmer New Year of the Ox to you kookpebble. May the new year bring you and your love ones joy, luck, health, love, prosperity, and happiness. Yes, the homemade sauce would have a big difference and I did a lot of trials and errors before I came up with my own sauce. Good news, I will make a video on it tomorrow after everybody's been waiting for a year now...hehe!

[koolpebble]

Oh, okay. That's nice of you. I can't wait to see it.

[NomadicClan]

Wow. Very similar to Thai, Lao and Hmong papaya salad!

[forg3tm3not770]

Yes, I believe that every Southeastern countries has similiarities in their food.

[applebu2008]

[forg3tm3not770]

Thank you applebu2008!

[stepher0ni]

Haha. This song reminds me of while I was in Cambodia and we would travel 6+ hours..and it would just be on repeat.. Good times.

[dunkstypes]

This is the real Bok La Hong (Green Papaya Salad). Bong, I was wondering if I can get the right ingredients on the papaya sauce.. Oh and congratulations, your gonna be a momma right? :)

[forg3tm3not770]

Hi paowne dunkstypes. Yes I am and thank you very much. I will make a tutorial on the homemade papaya sauce once it gets a little warmer so that I can simmer it outside...please stay tune.

[dunkstypes]

Thanks Bong! :) I can't wait hehe*

[pyun00]

Hey Bong, I have been watching your cooking videos and they are awesome. Although I have been searching for a recipe on BorBo(rice porridge w/ pork blood) and can't find any. Can you share with me your awesome cooking skills with that? I am pregnant and have been craving it.

[forg3tm3not770]

Hi paowne pyun00! Congrats! How far along are you? I understand about cravings b/c I have 4 more mths to go. I hope to make a tutorial on that one of these days, but in the meantime, it's very easy to make. If you email me, I will give you directions on how to make it.

[k1ky00]

OMG this is awesome!!!!

[forg3tm3not770]

Thanks k1ky00!

[CalikhmerG]

This is actually Cambodian food, Thai & Laos copy it from us and claim it is theres.

[cycroxia]

i found a pre-made papaya salad sauce in a small bottle (new)..and the juice is green!?? hmmm i didn't open the bottle yet but it stinks already lol

[forg3tm3not770]

LOL! The stinkier it is, the tastier.

[cycroxia]

Hi bong! I usually POUND black crab(they make it too sweet now) or crab paste w/shrimp paste & fish sauce, sugar, no salt, garlic, peppers, lemon juice, cherry tomatoes. (juice looks like greyish-black color) Taste to desired, then pound the papaya last. Thanks again and I will try it your way.. mmm srork tuk mut haha...

[forg3tm3not770]

Hi Oun! I have those first few ingredients in my homemade sauce. When I have the time, I will do a tutorial on my sauce n lemongrass paste.

[k1ky00]

I can't wait to see those tutorial!!! ^_^ yay!!!

[2shourt]

instead of the big tomatoes you can use cherry tomotoes. I really appreciate what you are doing and it shows me that i'm not the only young Cambodian that loves to cooks khmer food.

[forg3tm3not770]

Hi 2shourt! I do use cherry tomatoes, but in this tutorial, I didn't have time to purchase any.

[ilovenoy]

I've never seen anyone add salt in it too since you already put in fish sauce and that home made sauce. Wouldn't that be too salty? That dried shrimp is already salty too.

[forg3tm3not770]

That depends on how much salt you put. Just like desserts, who would had thought of putting in salt? Every food needs a pinch of it in order to bring all the tastes together no matter how salty the food is. At the end, it depends on your estimation on how much to put each ingredient to make the overall result complete.

[ilovenoy]

I guess your used to eating really salty foods. But anyways, I'm just not used to seeing people put salt in papaya salad. My mom used to sell papaya salad with the outside vendors in Laos and Thailand and just never seen ANYONE put salt in it.

[cycroxia]

Some dried shrimp isn't salty.

[ilovenoy]

You must be used to eating a lot of salty foods too if you don't think they have a salty taste to it. If you pop one in your mouth, it has a salty taste to it. I didn't say they were ridiculously salty.

[DeliciouslyLYNA]

mmmm. look so good. im craving it so bad now! i luv me sum boklahong

[forg3tm3not770]

Thanks DeliciouslyLYNA!

[jaykuoch]

could u give a thorough explanation on how to make the papaya sauce like how much of what to put and what to mix together i would really appreciate it!!

[forg3tm3not770]

Hi there jaykuoch! The list of ingredients for this homemade sauce is in the parenthesis in the description box. When it comes to cooking, I'm not much of a measurer, but an estimator. Therefore, I would not be able to give you exact measurements. Just know that you simmer all those ingredients together and can refridgerate it.

[KhmerSerey1]

oh my god it just elude my eyes,i'm very observance too,in siamreap they just make bokelahong right infront my face,the fun part is seeing how it is done ;)

[forg3tm3not770]

The not so fun part is having it kthete on you...hehe!

[KhmerSerey1]

you forgot kdam praii !! we add kdam praii in siamreap hahahaa

[forg3tm3not770]

No I didn't. It's in my homemade sauce. If you look at the descriptions, I had included it in my ingredients.

[laobodiankid]

[forg3tm3not770]

I'm glad you like it laobodiankid.

[DUblEBS]

[forg3tm3not770]

if you look to the right side of the screen, you will see that salted crab is one of the ingredients in my homemade papaya sauce

[laotakao]

I like your music...it sounds Cambodian? Your papaya salad looks good too. I think palm sugar works well too.

[forg3tm3not770]

Thanks laotakao! Yes, it's Cambodian. Palm sugar works very well, but I already put it in my homemade papaya sauce.

[pocket366]

Wow! That's great.But,I think he's very lucky to have a wife good cooker:)

[forg3tm3not770]

Aww...you're too kind...please tell him that...hehe!

[pocket366]

Mai Pen Rai Na krub.You're wecome.Ohh!Your husband speak thai.That's good!!

[forg3tm3not770]

I'm very proud to say that he's fluent in 5 languages...*^_^* He knew Thai from living there for two years for his Masters degree.

[iluvfullhouse]

[forg3tm3not770]

LOL! You're close. It's Khmer, English, Thai, French, and Japanese. He used to be a Japanese interpreter/professor for Americans in Cambodia.

[pocket366]

[forg3tm3not770]

Thanks! I learned a new word today...*^_^* My husband actually speaks Thai, but I'm clueless.

[MrsData]

Thank you forg3tm3not770!!!

[forg3tm3not770]

You're very welcome MrsData! *^_^*

[Dreamer4Life777]

Hi Bong:

I really enjoy watching your cooking Vid's!!! Can you please let me in on your homemade papaya sauce? It would be so helpful considering I have like 20 papaya plants in my yard *lol

[forg3tm3not770]

Hi Dreamer4Life777! You are you lucky! I wish my backyard can grow papayas or any other fruits. Here in GA, we have clay dirt...so it doesn't grow crops that well. I have the papaya ingredients to the right hand side of this video under "More Info"...please check it out and tell me how it goes...enjoy!

[brandyb02]

yummy I'm hungry :)

[forg3tm3not770]

Thanks brandyb02! I'm hungry too...hehe!

[ImHot2o9]

dame my mouth is really watery haha it looks really good... i love it with noodles......

[forg3tm3not770]

Yes, that can be another option and so are julienned carrots...both are delish! Thanks for watching!

[MannaBoBannaPeople]

Shrimp is not healthy for you. Read scripture!

[forg3tm3not770]

I know, but I still like it...yummm!

[MannaBoBannaPeople]

Just as yummy without the shrimp.

I do enjoy this salad.

[forg3tm3not770]

Yes, I agree, but it's okay. I prefer to use it for that extra kick. Better to use shrimp than msg in which I never use in any of my foods.

[PkaMeas92]

hey, can you explain why it's not healthy?

[MannaBoBannaPeople]

It's unclean.. These you may eat of all that are in the water: whatever in the water has fins and scales, whether in the seas or in the rivers; that you may eat. But all in the seas or in the rivers that do not have fins and scales...

God is holy (separate), he wanted his people to be holy and distinct from other cultures.

If you love me you will keep my commandments.

[forg3tm3not770]

Hi PkaMeas92!  Miche sdap neang nung thaye b/c neang nung niyay religious that has nothing to do jromuy mahope.

[sinoon83]

that is not how u make papaya salad !! she is so wrong !! i'm sorry !!!

[forg3tm3not770]

Please notice sinoon83, that when you're cooking (just like makeup), there are no rules. A real chef is one that goes by his/her preference, not what is demanded out of them. Thank you for taking the time to post a comment.

[Supracerxtreme]

Definitely want this song :p

[campannha]

this video make me hungry.

[forg3tm3not770]

Thanks for watching campannha!

[campannha]

I am a Cambodian and we have that food in Cambodia and Thailand too.. now i moved to US so I want to eat that papaya food badly.

[forg3tm3not770]

Well now that you have the recipe, you can enjoy it everyday! *^_^* I'm glad you came across my video. Check out my other Khmer dishes.

[Khmergirl345]

how do u make the sauce? anyway ur video is great! it makes me hungry too lol

[forg3tm3not770]

Thanks Khmergirl345! In the sauce is: shrimp paste, salted baby crab, fermented fish, tamarind, palm sugar, garlic, chili peppers, fish sauce, salt, and sugar.

[lovingtony]

you are the best lol. Yummy!!!! Khmer food are the best and im a big fan of PRO HAUK!! yumm

[forg3tm3not770]

Thanks lovingtony! I'm glad you came across my videos then and I hope to make some more dishes that requires prahok...hehe!

[kesar15]

oké! I get it now..merci!

[forg3tm3not770]

De Rien mon ami.

[kesar15]

is the papaya sauce just "kapi"...and you forgot about " Kdaam Prei"....

[forg3tm3not770]

Nope...it's kapik along with salted baby crabs (accidentally said crab paste in the other viewer's comment), etc.

[bunhean22]

yummy, thanks for posting up the video I now know how to make my own when I am hungry for it.

[forg3tm3not770]

Thank you for watching my videos and for your comment...*^_^*

[bebemk]

oouu yummy! i make m papaya salad diff thou! =) keep the food tutorial comming!

[forg3tm3not770]

Thanks bebemk! How do you make yours? I'm always curious to know how other cultures makes them.

[bebemk]

well, it's basically the same ingredients. I didn't see a few things that i would add to my salad but that's probably because you wouldn't prefer it in there. like, say fish sauce. plus i just add them in a different order. =) i haven't tried doing the sugar and salt first. i like crushing the garlic first but i use raw garlic. idk, thats how my mom made is so i've always stuck to that.

[forg3tm3not770]

Oh I did used fish sauce...2 tbs were added right after the lime juice and I use raw garlic too, but in the video, you saw that the garlic was already chopped so that it's quicker to smush.

[ebonyamberjade]

until today I had never heard of papaya salad... looks delicious! I love all your cooking videos! I wish I had someone besides myself to cook for ...

[forg3tm3not770]

Thanks hun! Just do what I do, invite family and friends over...sometimes, it's not fun eating alone. :P

[tumama187]

just curious, why don't you put shrimp paste in your papaya salad?

do you think it makes a difference

[forg3tm3not770]

I love shrimp paste and yes, it makes a big difference. My shrimp paste is already simmered in my "homemade papaya sauce" along with crab paste, fermented fish, tamarind, palm sugar, garlic, chili peppers, fish sauce, salt, and sugar.

[forg3tm3not770]

Ooops...didn't mean crab paste...I used salted baby crabs instead.

[hellokretty]

invite me over !

[forg3tm3not770]

You haven't ate my papaya in a long time! Come over this Dec. 15th! *^_^*

[xxTenny]

I made this with grilled chicken for lunch today and my papaya was not crisp. How do I make so that it's not soggy? Maybe I added to much sauce?

[forg3tm3not770]

Cool! There's a special trick to make the papaya crispy...right after you shred it, soak it in ice water for at least an hour and drain it before pounding it. I never knew this trick until recently when my aunt learned it from a chef that sells papaya.

[neverknowsbest17]

do u know how to make those steam bread things. bao?

[forg3tm3not770]

Yes, but it's kind of complicated...not sure of how to make the video, but I'll try.

[AikoShrek]

Only the tomatos and limes are available at my local supermarket. Heh. Looks interesting!

[forg3tm3not770]

Oh no...you must not have any farmer's market there...it would save you so much money compared to the chain grocery stores...but thanks anyways!  *^_^*

[cice915]

FISH SACUEEEEEEEE :)!!! someone vicky secrets come to them smellin like rotten fish lolz that looks soo yummy tho i wish i knew wat i was orderin wen i went to thai restaunts lolz i look at the pics point and say i want this one lolz

[forg3tm3not770]

LOL! Don't feel bad...when I went to Thailand 6 years ago, I couldn't communicate with them either and so all I did was point to the food title and raised up 1 or 2 fingers to tell them how many dishes...meanwhile, I'm looking at all the Thai customers eating what they want and my mouth was watering.

[callmequiche]

looks like quite a workout with all that pounding. :)

[forg3tm3not770]

Ooh hun...believe me...by the end of all the pounding, I probably gained me a bicep or two in one arm...hehe!

[ghdz1984]

Is papaya something other than fruit? What my mom brings home looks nothing like what you've got shredded there...

[forg3tm3not770]

Yep...it's a fruit, but you have to get the green version, not the ripe kind for this salad...I like to eat the ripe kind by itself.

[ghdz1984]

Ohh I see.. we eat the ripe kind with lemon =) Your food tutorials look so mouth watering but I'm just so lazy to cook! :P

[forg3tm3not770]

Oooh...I never tried that before...I'm gonna have to try that next time I buy a ripe one.

[ghdz1984]

Lay down the boogie and play that funky music till you die =)

[forg3tm3not770]

My brother laughed at the song too and said I should change it...:P

[cice915]

yummy droolsssssss!!! pounding loooks fun u should fedex me some : ) jp u know wat funny i hate fish but i luv fish sauce lolz

[forg3tm3not770]

Imagine me fedexing it to you and once it broke apart in the airplane, it stinks up all the mail...LOL! Us Asians puts fish sauce in everything...*^_^*

[queeni84]

LOL i am sure the fish is not too happy about that :P lame joke!

[forg3tm3not770]

LOL! You're so silly! :P

[muffdriver69]

You may not put MSG in your dishes, but you're already added it without knowing. Did you know fish sauce, during fermentation, has a very high concentration of MSG? Whether this is a good thing or bad thing, I don't know. If you can find information about this, please let me know. "The taste that kills" by Russel Blaylock.

[muffdriver69]

You might not put MSG in your dishes, but it's already in the fish sauce, during fermentation and in very high concentrations, so I heard. Whether this is a good thing or not, I don't know. If you can find information about this, please let me know. "The taste that kills" by Russel Blaylock.
