Classic Cambodian Pan-Fried Cheese Kebabs

Assemble the ingredients: cheese, parsley, olive oil, paprika, onion, flour, bay leaf.

Warm oil in a heavy pot. Add the cheese and cook until pan-fried.

Stir in the aromatics and spices — the backbone of Cambodian flavors.

Add the remaining ingredients and cook gently, stirring occasionally, until tender.

Taste and adjust seasoning; the flavor should deepen as it cooks.

Plate and serve with traditional Cambodian accompaniments such as bread, rice, or fresh herbs.
