Aioan Chua Noeung Phset Kretni #EattheWorld

Enjoy the flavors of Cambodia with this Stir Fried Chicken with Mushrooms.

Join us as we Eat the World........

Evelyne of CulturEatz invites us each month to travel the globe gastronomically and create a dish from different parts of the world.  This month we are visiting Cambodia.

I was not familiar with Cambodian Foods at all prior to this event.  I don't think I have ever knowingly eaten Cambodian food before but we do love Asian food in this household so I was excited to experiment.

I found this recipe at a website called Asian Recipe.  It called for dried Chinese Mushrooms.  I was happy because I had this big ol' sack of mushrooms from a past recipe.  When you only need 5 or 6 at a time this sack lasts for years LOL.

It has you cut the chicken into "small pieces".  I just cut mine as I normally would but then cut the breasts in half.  I saved the back and wings for broth.

It's an easy peasy recipe as most Asian recipes are. It is also very delicious.  I seasoned the chicken with salt and pepper even though it was not part of the recipe.  That and the cutting of the chicken were really the only adaptations I made.

I served this up with Steamed Rice to which I added some frozen peas during the last 5 minutes in the steamer.  It was a perfect, quick, easy, delicious weeknight meal.
