Hello everyone and welcome to my channel.
Happy Valentine's Day 2019.
Today my family prepared some things to cook and eat at home.
It's cold and raining so we cannot go outside
due to our small baby.
We went to the supermarket this morning
and bought some seafood
to cook and eat this evening.
Come see what I am going to make.
This morning I bought a big box of shrimp
but will not use it all because it's too much.
I am going to divide it
and just use this much.
It was frozen so I soak it in cold water to defrost it.
Also, I got some blue crabs
they were $6 a pound. We got 6 crabs.
Cost us only $12.
I will steam these blue crab with Heineken beer.
These shrimps I will clean it
and marinate in garlic butter
and grill it.
I will show you.
We will be eating them with these herbs
Cambodian mint,
some lettuce and cucumbers.
As for the dipping sauce, we will be making Koh Kong or Kampot fish sauce
depending on what you call it.
But the ingredients are chilies, garlic, lime,
sugar and fish sauce.
These are the food
that we are going to prepare
and enjoy on this Valentine's Day 2019.
I will show you how I prepare the shrimp
to be marinade and for grilling.
I am going to start cleaning the shrimp in preparation for the marinade.
First cut the whiskers
then the legs
doing so will makes it easier to eat without them poking your mouth and face.
I've cut their whiskers and legs.
I am now going to split their back
and prepare the marinade.
Squeeze the top part tightly then use the tip of the knife to poke it.
Drag it all the way down.
Then go back and split the head in half.
then you can remove the black veins.
Watch your fingers when you do this.
When it's split like this the marinade goes in really well.
Also it's easy to peel and eat when grilling.
It's Valentine's Day today
and this dish takes time to prepare
like just put a little bit of your heart and soul
into this dish a bit.
These shrimp has a lot of fat
each every one has fat.
A box is $26.
I got the biggest size shrimp they have.
They had bigger one but headless.
The best part of the shrimp is the head because it has a lot of fat.
So I got the biggest size with the head on
and split it like this.
A box for $26 but I don't use it all.
I use half?
Not even half, about 1/3 of it.
So what's left I can use it to make other dishes
like Cambodian lime soup.
Like I said, when you split it, squeeze the head tightly
then use the tip of the knife and stand it up
and pull it downward
Don't set the knife down yet
until you hit the bottom tail then pull it down.
If the knife is sharp, it makes it easier.
Like I said, watch your fingers.
All shrimp has been cleaned and split in half
like how I showed you.
Now I've plate it.
I got this much.
I am now going to make the marinade for the shrimp.
I am using a stick of butter
which is equal to 8 tablespoons.
I kept it in the freezer so it's hard.
I will melt it in the microwave
for 10-15 seconds.
Some of the butter has melted.
Stir it until it melts a bit.
Then I am going to add garlic powder.
It's fine like this.
Two tablespoons.
Mix it together.
I am not using fresh garlic because when minced it's still in big pieces
and does not flavor the shrimp well as it's still in pieces.
As you can see this is well mixed.
I have fish sauce
1/2 tablespoon.
You have to be careful as some butter is already salty.
The butter I am using is unsalted
therefore I can add a bit more fish sauce.
There's also a dipping sauce when eating
so it's it's not salty enough or under season, it's OK too.
All done.
I am going to brush this marinade mix on the shrimp.
I will keep what's left to brush the shrimp while it's grilling.
I am now done.
There's this much marinade left.
I will brush it when grilling.
I am going to cover it and keep it in the fridge for now.
Then prep the vegetables and steam the blue crab.
Here are the blue crabs that I've cleaned.
Now I am going to steam it
with Heineken beer.
I will use my Instant Pot to steam it because it's quick.
There's only a little bit of crabs so I will only be using half a bottle of the beer.
Just half, as for the other half?
No need to say much.
Cover the lid,
seal the vent,
and set it to 2 mins because I don't want to overcook it.
Now I am going to wash and clean the vegetables.
Cleaning the herbs this way is very good
because all the dirt, sand and wilted leaves sink to the bottom.
If you just hold it and spray water on them, it's not as clean.
Dirt, sand and wilted leaves sink to the bottom.
Time to wash the lettuce.
Only two of us eating so I am just going to wash this much for now.
Some like to eat these lettuce stems
I don't like it, it's a bit hard
so I am going to cut and discard it.
My crabs are done 3 mins ago because I was busy cleaning the vegetables.
See, it's quick.
Let me turn it off.
Then use this tube
to release pressure before opening the lid.
Not much pressure as we only used half a bottle of beer.
Pressure is off. That's fast.
Steamed crab with Heineken beer is now done.
I will remove it in a bit.
I am now going to make the dipping sauce.
I have garlic and chilies,
lime,
sugar and fish sauce. That's it.
The amount of garlic and chilies is up to you.
If you like spicy put a lot.
If you like garlicky, put a lot.
If you don't like spicy, just put a little bit.
These chilies are from my backyard so I have plenty.
OK, it's all pounded together.
I am going to add sugar.
Once the sugars has dissolved, add fish sauce.
Then add lime juice.
This is a juicy lime.
Haven't use a whole yet and look how much juice.
Mix it well and then taste it.
Taste and adjust accordingly.
Our dipping sauce it now done.
Now we are going to set up the table and start eating.
We are going to let it cook on the grill
and let it cook while we start with the steamed crabs.
Smells good. The butter!
Grilled garlic butter shrimp smells amazing and sizzling away.
These are waiting to go on the grill.
Steamed blue crab with beer.
Dipping sauce
Herbs and vegetables to pair with it.
A special day today.
Valentine's Day (Day of Love).
Not going out to eat, eat at home.
Wife makes something to cook and eat at home on Valentine's Day.
It's cooked.
Here it is.
Eat rice too Naly.
Now going to try the crab.
Blue crab.
Let me open for you.
Eggs.
See it? Females has a lot of eggs.
It's sweet
steamed with Heineken.
Use Heineken beer is good.
Look at the eggs inside here.
I can barely dig it all out.
Here's the crab eggs.
Mmm...
It's tasty!
A gift to each other on this day
just tasty food, no flowers.
I don't want flowers either
I want trees instead.
Fruit trees, not fruitless trees.
Like mango tree,
- June plum. - June plum tree.
Those I want.
Cherimoya, Sugar apples etc. I want for planting.
Once planted I can see it every year on this day.
For flowers, the most is 3 days
they all died.
But each person thinks differently.
Some like flowers,
some likes to go out and eat
other like to cook and eat at home.
Different from each other.
How about all my friends here, what do you like?
Who likes to eat? Who likes to cook?
Who likes flowers and who likes fruit trees?
Finished with rice.
I'm going to interview the husband a bit.
Are you ready?
Interview what?
Interview question:
Once we started talking to each other
when did you start liking me?
Oh, right now is eating time.
My mouth is busy eating.
Yeah, but our viewers likes to know.
What was it?
When did I start to have feelings?
Once we started talking,
since when did the husband start having feelings?
Or, why did you like me?
(clears throat)
Well it's not I just started liking now
I like you from the start, if not we would not make it til now
with two kids.
At that time, why did you like me?
Maybe it's soul mate, if you say so?
When we first started talking to each other there was a mutual feeling
we connect instantly, like that.
Then after we start to get to know each other.
Didn't pay much attention at first. Just get to know each other.
Then later on
about 3 months or so?
Three months.
And today was the day we spoke to each other for the very first time.
February the 14th.
It's called "Lovers Day".
For me, in Cambodia, I've heard of "Lovers Day",
but I never buy anything for ...
Never bought anything for your lover then?
Never had a history of that.
It's like
someone from the countryside
who does not know
that you're suppose to buy flowers or gifts for your lover.
Basically, we started talking
for about 3 months.
But in that 3 months we spoke to each other every single day and each time for longer hours.
We just talk about this and that random things.
It may be different from relationships here
because we might know each other 1-2 years
but don't get to communicate with each other as much due to each other busy schedule.
like work and all so you don't have much time to talk to each other.
In our case we don't get to see each other but get to talk over the phone so we get to talk a lot.
That allows us to know a lot about things,
understand each other's feelings,
know each other thoughts.
So I thought OK, I can share my life with this person.
Any other questions?
Honestly, it's normal
We have been married over 5 years so it's normal to have issues
whether happy, worried or upset feeling, those will exist.
That's normal for a married couple.
There's sweet,
sour,
salty,
it's all mixed in together.
Just like this dipping sauce.
It's not like
a monk that's never mad.
well, we have arguments at times too.
It's normal to have them.
There's no married couple that's issue free
it just a matter of more or less.
What's important is to solve the issues right away.
But we know as humans,
when mad you don't want to talk. Each person thinks they are right.
At the moment, let each other be right.
but don't keep it too long.
Hurry to talk to each other.
Hurry to start asking.
Even if you are still mad but the more you talk you can share that feeling and reasons behind the actions.
For me, I think everybody has their own reasons why they do things
it's just that the other person does not understand the reason.
Give them the opportunity to talk and share their thoughts and reasoning.
Once you hear them out, you might understand them better.
- Mommy look! I eat it all. - Good Naly.
We might understand their reasoning and able to accept it.
And if we cannot accept it, that's the time to tell and let them know.
This way the other person can hear you out as well.
Then meet each other in the middle.
Don't wake up your brother.
Mom, I show you I eat it all.
You want to eat more?
Very good. Naly do you want more?
No, I finished.
Naly is very good. You finished all today.
Mommy, Naly burp.
Naly get just one napkin, not a lot. Don't waste money.
Don't waste money.
Shrimp smells good.
When we first talk on the phone we talked 5-6 hours a day.
Minimum 3 hours and up.
Not less than 3 hours a day.
Talking on the phone a lot is good in a way.
What is good about it?
The more we talk, the more we understand each other's feeling.
For some they see each other and talk less, they might not understand much about one another.
When you then live with each other, later you might realize things that you didn't think would be.
When we talk to each other for hours and understand each other...
open
then you think, oh we can move forward with each other.
In each relationship, what's important, at least to me
is communication.
We are not in their hearts and they are not in ours.
Even though we know each other for long or so
sometime there's the unthinkable
in that moment what the other person is thinking.
we can only guess and speculate.
To be sure, give the other person an opportunity to speak it out.
Once it's spoken, you hear it
and the speaker also hears themselves and what they just said.
There some people that we know who asked us
why or what reason
so that's all the advice I can give.
We are not a perfect couple
nor have loved for 1,000 or 100 of years or have a lot of experience
but for us to able to reach this point today
is because for that reason that I mentioned.
How about my viewers,
sisters, brothers and friends
that have been together for a long time
20-30 years or so
do you have any advice to share to the new generation like us?
A pleasure to hear from you.
OK, so I talked about how we first liked each other and the reason why.
Now let's talk about dishes.
What dishes would you like for me to show you?
Check out my little pony jumping in the background.
Mommy, look on the TV. This is my favorite song.
And I show Adrian.
Some crab left
and shrimp too
we are going to finish it up and I also have dessert today.
Stay tune for dessert time in just a bit.
We just finished eating and now it's time for dessert.
I bought this earlier today.
Custard apple or in Khmer it's called "teap svett".
As you can see we bought it frozen but by now it's thawed out.
It looks nice and fresh.
Let's open it up and taste it.
Yummy, yummy.
Ohhh yummy!
Naly, what is that called?
Orange?
I said orange, I don't know what's the name.
- I don't know. - Teab (sugar apple).
- Teab. - Teab Cambodia.
Oh it feels like ice cream to the touch.
- You like it? - Seed.
Yeah put it here.
You peel it like this and it's easier to eat.
You peel it like that.
Sugar apple taste good, and sweet but I just hate that there's a lot of seeds.
But this one has a thicker meat.
- Yeah? - Yeah.
Some has a lot of seeds and less meat.
When it's cold like this it's one of a kind.
Like jam/custard.
When you buy and it's warm, you keep it in the fridge anyways.
- In Cambodia you let it chill in the fridge. - Yeah.
A seed in every bite, but it's good.
Three for $9.
So $3 each?
No more?
I'm done.
Because there's no more.
Everyone finished eating except for me.
There's a lot of seeds so I will try to germinate it.
I have a moya tree too but a different variety.
A cherimoya or another type of moya.
The skin is smooth.
But it has not flower or fruit yet.
This year, I am going to try to at least get it to flower.
I just have this much left.
It will probably take me a few more bites.
Three seeds in one bite.
No more.
Check out the seeds, a whole bunch!
I am going to wash it, dry it and try to germinate it.
My 2019 Valentine's Day video has come to an end.
