Can you guys tell me what exactly is Kuyteav chha? Is there a difference between "kuyteav chha" and "kuyteav kohk"?
Because I looked for pictures of kuyteav chha, and what I see is not what I am used to having my mom make, or her friends make. The pictures I find look more like pad thai, and some of them look kinda saucy...

From what I know, kuyteav chha (or kuyteav kohk) is supposed to be noodles cooked in the kuyteav broth but then cooked dried in a wok or pan with beef. And there is no vegetables except for green onions, cilantro and bean sprouts. No eggs, no peanuts, no tofu or anything else like that. Am I right?


And another question, how many "dry" noodle dishes do Cambodians have in their culinary repertoire?

isn't kuyteav cha like stir fry noodles (since cha means stir frying)?
you mean kohk like "frozen" or dried, crisped, or raw? i've never came across kuyteav kohk before. i've only seen chinese crisped noodles or w/e you call them. i've only eaten bai kohk (crispy rice).

Kuyteav Chha is some kind like pad thai, without meat. Kuyteav hohk is made like "Phnom Penh noudle", but without soup.

Do you mean Char Kuay Teow?

I mean kohk (sounds like coke), it means like dried out.. not the term for frozen. its like kuyteav noodle soup, but with no broth at all.


charavann: thanks thats the answer i was looking for. i had thought those two referred to the same dish.

sunofgunongjerai: no, thats what we call mee katang (catonese noodles), but its made with the flat noodles like (pad si iew). and made with kat-na (chinese kale), eggs, and beef.

Owh yeah... Sorry, I didn't check the pic closely... The pic is a kind of noodle, you're right... In here the noodle in the pic is called Mee Goreng (Fried Noodle)... Char Koay Teow is as what you said and in the same with the pic... There are varieties of Char Koay Teow here, but in Penang, it is quite moist and sometimes quite spicy. They use the flat noodle, egg, prawn, cockle, taugeh (bean sprout) and some homemade sauce. You can just find the stalls everywhere if you visit Penang, I used to have my supper at the stalls in Penang, miss that time

...

me want some lorth chaa

Now that's a tough one to find outside of Cambodia.

There are two restaurants on the north side of the Royal Palace (Vealmeyn) which serve this dish alomost exclusively. In the afternoon the places are usually packed, and they typically run out of the dish by 5-6pm.

kuy theav char is khmer or me mi kola, thai is pad thai

I love Kuyteav Cha! The way my mum makes Kuyteav Cha while we were growing up was with pork meat, cabbage, bean sprouts all stir fried with the rice noodles seasoning with oyster sauce, soy sauce, fish sauce and sugar. She'll top it off with eggs, peanut and more bean sprouts if we choose to have more bean sprouts. The main ingredient is the sweet fish sauce, turk trey that many Khmers use to eat with Kuyteav Cha.

Being away from mum, I have tried looking for recipes for Kuyteav Cha on youtube and many various sites only to find Pad Thai recipes. After many attempts, I've learned to cook both Khmer and Thai fried noodles. I think the differences between the two is that Thai use tamarind paste where Khmer doesn't use it to make Kuyteav Cha. However, there are so many version to make Kuyteav Cha depending on the preferences of others. I have tried some Kuyteav Cha while I used to live in Boston that used many variations of herbs as well.

i like food.
