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.

Flintstone open face sandwiches

Fred and Wilma Flintstone open face sandwiches :-)

I used white cheese for Fred's face, nori for his ear, eyebrows, nose, eyes, hair, and mouth. Boiled egg cut out white part into oval shape for his eyes. Bologna for his beard and paprika ham for his collar.

For Wilma I used cheddar cheese for her hair, nori for her nose, eye brows, eyes, and hair details. Salami for her lips. White cheese for her face.

Thanksgiving Dinner!

 My son's school lunch on Thanksgiving day was a turkey sandwich.
This is a Thanksgiving Dinner in Norway. The Neang-Hansen way. It was difficult finding the ingredients for my turkey dinner because Norway don't celebrate Thanksgiving.  I made homemade French Sausage, Apple, Cranberry, herb stuffing, twice baked stuffed sweet potato topped with bacon, green bean and bacon casserole, homemade gravy, and fried turkey. I never tried fried a turkey before I usually roast my turkey. I wanted to try something different and the turkey came out delicious.
For dessert I made pecan tarts. They were yummy. Happy Thanksgiving!
