I was born and brought up in Canada, and years later I moved to the neighbourhood of Westmount, Quebec. Since I was young, I’ve been a vegetarian. And since I was a child I’ve been an enthusiast of food, cooking, and quality.
Asia is full of amazing cuisine, but one country’s name stands out amongst the rest: Cambodia. When Cambodians cook up a dish, the results are mind-bogglingly delicious. Take Cambodian beef sausage, for example. The brainchild of Cambodian cuisine expert Chef Tea, the dish is a savory mixture of ground beef, eggs, garlic, shallots, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves, which is then stuffed into a banana leaf and steamed.
There’s nothing quite like a good saus sausage. They’re full of flavor and tend to be the best of the best. I’m talking about the variety that goes by the name of “Saus”. It’s a very popular type of sausage that originated in Germany and is well known for it’s delicious taste. Recently, I got the chance to do a taste test of a brand new Cambodian saus that is well known in the region for it’s tasty taste.
Beef and other ingredients are used to make Cambodian Beef Sausage. This traditional Khmer Beef Sausage is extremely tasty and popular in Asian countries.

Making Cambodian Beef Sausage: Step-by-Step Instructions
- Mix everything (except the rice) together, then add the rice last so it doesn’t stick.
- Regular or sticky rice may be used.
- Twist the twa ko into tiny links after stuffing them into the shell. I hang them on the rack to dry for a few hours or dry them in the sun. Twa Ko may be frozen and used at a later time.
