About Me

My photo
Welcome to my ScandinAsian food blog. A blog about what I like to make in my little Norweigan kitchen, from homemade meals to fun creative sandwiches. My parents gave me the name Sorieya, a Cambodian name, which means sun. I'm originally from the United States. Now I'm currently living in Norway, married to a Norwegian man with 3 beautiful children. It's hard being away from my family back in the States and I miss them everyday. I am not an artist but I love making fun sandwiches for my kids. I am not a professional chef but I love to cook and I love being in the kitchen. I love introducing my children to different kind of international food, introducing food from my childhood and explaining to my kids the history about their culture and food. I love spending those quality time together teaching my little ones how to make bread, Khmer food, and teaching me Norwegian. My Norwegian isn't that great but I do understand just the basics but speaking it, that's another story.

Wanna be s'mores


A wanna be s'mores. I couldn't find any marshmallows and I didn't want to drive around the city just to find them so I just used fluff instead. My kids never had fluff until yesterday. Now they are a bunch of fluffer lovers. I used Bergene milk chocolate, it's one of my favorite chocolate. You can buy Nidar chocolates 3 for 2 at any Meny grocery store. I also used sweet wheat crackers, similar to graham crackers.




Homemade chicken soup with rice

I made this chicken soup with rice for my littlest one. She still wasn't feeling well with her teething. The soup helped her a bit. My son said this taste just like Grandma's chicken soup with rice.



Simple chicken broth I made earlier. Removed chicken from broth and put on a plate and set aside to cool.
I sauteed rice in a hot skillet with 1 tablespoon vegetable oil, stirred until lightly brown, then added garlic and onion. Stirred well. Added sauteed rice mixture into my chicken broth. Brought the broth to a boil, then simmer, cooked until rice was tendered. Seasoned with 3 tablespoons fish sauce, tablespoons sugar, salt and pepper for taste. Then I cut cooked chicken into bite size and set a side.

I poured broth with rice in a bowl, topped with cooked white meat chicken, green onions, chopped mint leaves, bean sprouts, slices of lime.
