Authentic Kuy Teav Recipe Ingredients:
The Stock:
- 1.5 liters of pork or beef stock
- 4 cloves of garlic, whole
- 1 large onion, quartered
- 2 star anise
- 1 cinnamon stick
- 1 tablespoons sugar
- Salt and fish sauce, to taste
The Garnish:
- 400g of rice noodles
- 200g of thinly sliced pork or beef
- 100g of minced pork
- 1 piece of ginger, sliced
- Garnishes: bean sprouts, lime wedges, fresh herbs (like cilantro and basil), and sliced green onions, 2 cloves garlic, minced
- Condiments: fish sauce, hoisin sauce, and chili paste
Method:
- Prepare the Broth: In a large pot, add the pork or beef stock along with the quartered onion, whole garlic cloves, sliced ginger, star anise, and cinnamon stick. Bring to a boil, then reduce the heat and simmer for about 1 hour. Strain the broth and return it to the pot. Season with sugar, salt, and fish sauce to taste.
- Cook the Noodles: Bring a separate pot of water to a boil. Add the rice noodles and cook until just tender, about 6-8 minutes. Drain and rinse under cold water to stop the cooking process.
- Prepare the Meat: In a skillet, heat a little oil and sauté the minced garlic until fragrant. Add the minced pork, cooking until it’s no longer pink. In the same pot with the broth, add the thinly sliced pork or beef and cook until just done.
- Assemble the Soup: Place a portion of the cooked noodles into each bowl. Ladle the hot broth and meat over the noodles. Garnish with bean sprouts, sliced green onions, fresh herbs, and a wedge of lime.
- Serve with Condiments: Offer fish sauce, hoisin sauce, and chili paste on the side, allowing each person to adjust the flavors to their liking.
