GRILLED CURRY CHICKEN ON A STICK (CAMBODIA)

Steps:

• Mix all the ingredients together in a large bowl. Cover and refrigerate for at least 4 hours.
• Place the chicken strips on skewers and pour the rest of the marinade over. Cook on a grill over low heat until the chicken is golden brown all over (I just put mine under the broiler. They really do need an open flame.).
• Serve with mango salsa on the side.

PERSIMMON PUDDING CAKE

• Add the dry ingredients to the wet ingredients, a third at a time, fully incorporating after each addition.
• Add the chopped nuts.

TIRK KOS KROTE KOMQUAT (CAMBODIAN KOMQUAT DRINK)

Steps:

• Slice 1 calamondin, remove seeds, and set aside.
• Juice the remaining three calamondins into a small pitcher, remove seeds. I used the juice of 1 medium sized orange instead since I was unable to find calamondins.
• Add the sugar and Club soda to the calamondin juice, stir until dissolved. The original recipe calls for 3 tbsp of sugar, which I found to be very tart - using 1/2 cup will leave you with a beverage sweetened similar to lemonade.
• Add ice cubes and garnish with slices of calamondin, serve immediately.
