Kreung- lemongrass paste

2 stalks of lemongrass
10-15 small to medium sized kafir lime leave
2 two inch turmeric pieces
1/4 root of galangal (small piece 1-2 inches)
10 garlic cloves
2 teaspoon of salt
Directions:
In a mortar and pestle add in the finely chopped lemongrass, kafir lime leaves, turmeric and galangal; pound the ingredients for 5-10 minutes then add in the 10 gloves of garlic, then proceed to add the 2 tsp of salt; pound for another 5-10 minutes and you are done
You can individually pack the paste in small single-use bags
Keep in mind that you can use a food processor for this recipe but a mortar and pestle brings out the best of the individual ingredients.

Whoever live with this mom is one lucky kiddo. I wish my mom is alive to show me how to cook and life in general. I never knew her, she died when I was very young during Khmer Rouge era.

[@anastasia_anastasija]

You're moms cooking is the best. I've seen other channels and your moms cooking is on point! Almost identical to my moms and grandmas cooking. Thanks for sharing.

Hello ming! Love your videos! I've saved many of them on a playlist of recipes to go back to. 😊 I have trouble cutting lemongrass in thin slices which is why I never make kreung but I've bought the frozen pre cut and pre chopped ones. I was wondering if you knew how many tbls/cups etc. I should use to get the same amount required for your kreung recipe. Thanks in advance for your input! :)

I am growing lemongrass and I want to use it to make your kreung. I bought lemongrass last year and soaked until roots emerged and then plant in a big pot and kept inside all winter and trimmed and used lemongrass and now it is outside again.

[@CookingWithMommaHeng]

west-island kev wow that is amazing, i wish i can grow my own lemon grass here, but i don't have a green thumb. I hope you enjoy this recipe, it makes everything delicious, if you have any request please let me know :)

[@westislandkev]

Cooking With Momma Heng Montreal is not a whole lot better haha. It is definitively not like cutting fresh lemongrass in the Cambodian countryside. I also have two large Kaffir lime plants that I planted from seeds many years ago and my Khmer friends in the USA also have one.

[@PLATINUMCASTLE813]

instead of using the old traditional way, will a food processor/blender do?

[@CookingWithMommaHeng]

PLATINUMCASTLE-924 yes you for sure can :) it makes it go by a to faster, when using a blender add in a little bit of water to help the machine

[@PLATINUMCASTLE813]

[@CookingWithMommaHeng]
