Just in case you are wondering how do I know to make Cambodian Sour Fish Soup, there's nothing for me to say right (Angkor Wat & Siem Reap)? No point repeating over and over like a parrot right (Phnom Penh Noodle Soup)? Furthermore, I shouldn't also mention their neighboring country Vietnam (Vietnamese Steamed Fish & Vietnamese Fish Soup)? Pretty much logically, I don't need a long intro for substantiating this Cambodian Sour Fish Soup. Thank god! Nevertheless, it will be good if I relate some of the fish recipes I have already shared with all you beautiful people (Indian Fish Curry, Asam Pedas, Thai Crispy Fish, Steamed White Pompret & Ikan Masak Kicap) and what is the cooking story to Cambodian Sour Fish Soup? Oh, so easy, so uncomplicated, so straightforward, so food slurping and you add local veggies. Notably, mine had to okra/bendi/ladies fingers and I added some turmeric powder for bright hue and extra flavor (Nyonya Fish Soup, Thai Fish Soup & Mutton Soup).
2 pieces (about 450) Indian Mackerel/Ikan
tenggiri (cut into chunks)
4-5 okra/bendi - cut into two pieces
1 tsp turmeric/kunyit powder
Lime juice - as needed (optional)
1 tbsp fish sauce (or as needed)
Lime juice - as needed (optional)
1 tbsp fish sauce (or as needed)
Salt to taste
For the broth (pound/blend coarsely)
1 lemongrass
1-2 red chilies
3 shallots
3-4 garlic
1/2 inch ginger
Method
Add everything except the lime juice in a pot with 3/4 litre of
water.
Simmer over very low heat till fish and
okra are cooked.
Off the heat and combine in lime juice.

Wow we eat fish alot, and heard about cutlets and pakodas, never thought of soups :O Its so much new to me! hope it was delicious as much as we eat :D
ReplyDeleteLove the colour of this, really vibrant.
ReplyDeleteGreat to know at last you received your domain back. I am wondering for some time to take my site to another level to activate the chances I am receiving.but still confused as I am happy with blogger.
ReplyDeleteBtw a nice & delicious soup for winters and an interesting twist with okra
One healthy soup, fish and okra very very lovely combo...
ReplyDeletewhat happened to ur site had problem finding it yesterday, apt dish for this climate.
ReplyDeleteYour domain went missing? I would have freaked out. So glad you got everything back to normal and reclaimed all your hard work. As for the recipe, it's a refreshingly simple, pungent but tangy way of enjoying fish with nothing more than a few aromatics, turmeric and citrus based flavors. I'm pretty sure my mother made something similar for me but used coconut milk, ala ikean masak lemak style.
ReplyDeleteI have never tried fish and okra together, the soup looks really good Nava.
ReplyDeleteNava, so good to see this post...and I want to know how such things can happen...and thanks for including my blog-name. Your dish looks delicious. Okra isn't commonly used with fish but I'd love to try out this combination.
ReplyDeleteOh Nava, can't tell you how relieved I feel visiting this space today. Have been checking daily and was greeted by a smiling lady instead of my favourite curries and soups. I can tell you I was missing this space with all the sugar and cookie overload (including myself) around the blog-o-sphere. I can imagine your ordeal and will surely learn a few things from your experience.
ReplyDeleteNow coming to my favourite part. The soup looks fabulous as usual and so simple to make. Okra in a soup is just what I need at the moment to give to my kids. I have only done stir frys with them until now.
Keep up your never-give-up attitude and keep those dishes coming for us. We love them:-)
interesting combo n looks delicious!!!
ReplyDeleteSad to hear about the domain mishap. Glad you were able to restore.
ReplyDeleteSo up is comfort food anytime. That is a crazy combination if fish and okra but the soup looks too good.
Thanks for sharing. .
Now you are back i guess .Sorry for your hard time nava.Fish soup looks perfect for rainy weather .Never heard of fish soup (may be little illetrate in this part).we usually do cut okras and here okras are still full hmm so many varieties .I am not sure about the second ingredient in the broth ( going to google it ).
