Although there are many recipes in Cambodia with epically long ingredient lists, I chose a collection of unusual dishes with refreshingly short ingredient lists. Did I mention I have a 13-month old?
This Global Table Adventure, I’m most looking forward to trying the Cambodian Grilled Eggs – mostly because I am tickled by the idea of grilling a whole (yet seasoned) egg! Confused? Don’t worry. It will all be clear come Monday, when I post photos, recipes, and Ava’s video review. Special thanks to Karen Coates – accomplished journalist, traveler, and one of my favorite bloggers – who was kind enough to hunt down a Khmer friend for an authentic recipe for me to adapt. It’s going to be mmm, mmm, good!

Yum! I love Cambodian food. Sounds like some interesting recipes.
I am so enjoying your vicarious travels! I don’t have a small child, and I *still* appreciate recipes with short ingredient lists. Can’t wait to hear how the eggs turn out, and will be trying the corn myself!
Thanks Ann! Sometimes I really have to hunt for simple recipes – but I find they are often the tastiest! I hope you like the corn
I’m looking forward to the corn. It is hard to grill corn and not have it come out tough and dry. I’ll bet the coconut milk will help a lot. Good idea!
PS. I don’t know if my hand is steady enough to get the re-filled egg shell on the grill without dumping it on the way! That may be a job for younger, steadier cooks! Ha!
The eggs are going to be interesting, that’s for sure … I hope I can do it!
As for the corn, I’ll have my husband grill it so he can take the heat if it gets dried out – ha 
Oh sure! Blame it on the guy. No wonder we die younger! Oh, the pressure we face every day!
Seriously, I am looking forward to hearing about this corn. I love grilled corn and would love a foolproof method for my files.
Thanks!
