Sour Lemongrass Beef Soup with Water Spinach (Samlor Mju Kroeung Trakoun Sach Ko) is a popular and delicious traditional Khmer dish featuring a savory, sour flavor and a wonderful aroma from crushed Cambodian lemongrass paste (Kroeung). Ingredients • Water spinach: 1 large bunch (pounded slightly flat and cut into medium-sized pieces) • Beef: 400g (lean cut or tenderloin preferred), thinly sliced • Pounded Kroeung Paste: Lemongrass stalks, galangal, turmeric, garlic, and kaffir lime leaves • Ripe tamarind paste • Fermented fish paste (Prahok) • Seasonings: Sugar, salt, fish sauce, MSG or seasoning powder • Cooking oil Instructions 1. Prepare the paste: Pound the lemongrass stalks, galangal, turmeric, garlic, and kaffir lime leaves together into a fine paste (Kroeung). 2. Sauté the aromatics: Heat a little cooking oil in a pot over medium heat, then add the Kroeung paste and Prahok, stirring until fragrant. 3. Add the beef: Add the sliced beef and stir-fry with the aromatics until the meat changes color slightly. 4. Season the meat: Add sugar, salt, fish sauce, and MSG (or seasoning powder), stirring well so the beef absorbs the flavors. 5. Simmer the broth: Pour in an appropriate amount of water and let it simmer until the beef becomes tender. 6. Add the vegetables and sour agent: Stir in the water spinach, bring the broth back to a boil, and then add the tamarind juice. 7. Finish: Taste and adjust the seasoning to achieve a well-balanced sour, salty, and sweet flavor. Turn off the heat, transfer to a bowl, and serve.
