I feel pretty fortunate to have up to three sous chefs at my beck and call, but only when the culinary task at hand is a playful one.
First Let Me Explain ✋
Every time I visit the USA I make sure to buy an inappropriate t-shirt for each of my lovely ladies. This is the first post of my back-in-Cambodia content, and the events in this post are only a few weeks behind real-time, just letting you all know. Anyhow, on this most recent trip I bought a shirt for Srey-Yuu in her favorite color that simply reads "asian." in lower case letters with a period. So, if you are you wondering why Srey-Yuu is wearing a strange shirt in this post, there's your reason.
After my first night at home I picked through my luggage and found my precious and hilarious shirt for Srey-Yuu, and I immediately laughed out loud. I found her sleeping, draped it on her and laughed so hard I couldn't take a clear picture. Well, to my surprise she wears her asian shirt everywhere, even while making momos in the home kitchen.
My friends in the USA talk about me "living in Asia" more than I actually hear the word Cambodia, we 'Mericans tend to oversimplify the world. For this reason I always remind her that she is basically the same as a Turkish or Japanese person. She's got a good sense of humor though, and of course I am an easy target for ridicule as a ginger, one of the strangest incarnations of the human form.
Oh Yeah, The Momos 🥟
Got a little distracted there, but that's quite fine here on Hive where I'm not aiming for any mass appeal. Anyhow, Srey-Yuu and Pov became the momo makers after I prepared the dough balls and filling. This time I gave no guidance and let them work from memory, and although some of the momos got so large that they bordered on samosa territory, they reigned it back in to bite-size form near the end while I was doing the deep-frying.
Momos are the delicious dumplings of Nepal/Sikkim/Tibet/northern India by the way, still can't remember whether or not I've ever shared my recipe before on Hive. Recipes are easy enough to find online, but ultimately it's basically roti dough and your filling preferences change with time and tend to reflect what your family likes. I put fried diced vegan pâté in our momos, something you won't find on any internet recipe, and nutritional yeast too for some umami action.
