Curry Pork Riblets is a delightful Khmer country dish featuring a savory curry soup with pork riblets, small green eggplants, purple eggplants, and tiny green eggplants. The recipe combines aromatic spices and fresh ingredients to create a flavorful and comforting soup, showcasing the rich culinary heritage of Cambodia.

To prepare this dish, start by heating a soup pot and adding vegetable oil, minced garlic, minced lemon grass, sliced yellow onion, and diced tomatoes. Stirring the ingredients well infuses the pot with aromatic flavors. Next, add the pork riblets, along with curry powder, turmeric powder (or grated fresh turmeric root), fish sauce, sugar, salt, and black pepper. This step ensures the pork riblets are well-coated with the flavorful spices.

The heartiness of the soup comes from the addition of coconut milk and water, creating a rich and creamy broth. The recipe incorporates three types of eggplants – rounded green eggplants, rounded purple eggplants, and tiny green eggplants – which contribute varying textures and flavors to the soup. Kaffir lime leaves add a citrusy and fragrant note, enhancing the overall profile of the dish.

The final step involves cooking the soup on low heat until the pork riblets are tender, allowing the flavors to meld together. The resulting Curry Pork Riblets soup is best served hot, paired with rice for a satisfying and wholesome meal. This Khmer country food offers a delicious representation of Cambodian cuisine, blending traditional flavors with a variety of fresh and vibrant ingredients.
