About

Learn about Cambodian cuisine by making one of the country’s most loved street foods, lort cha (pronounced loht chaw), which contains stir-fried rice pin noodles, chicken, and garlic chives.
 
Make the short, stubby rice noodles (lort) from scratch then transform it into a stir-fried (cha or chha) noodle dish that is popular throughout the country. The noodles are boiled, then stir-fried with garlic chives and a protein of your choice.  
 
Next, make a perfectly balanced tuk trey (a fish sauce-based seasoning) to pour over the dish. Perfectly fry an egg to sit atop the noodles. Top with a sprinkle of coarsely chopped peanuts and a big squirt of chili sauce. 
  
On the menu

  • Lort (pin rice noodles).

Theary Tran

Theary spent her childhood years in her native Cambodia, where cooking was integral to the culture. Cooking with local ingredients and trusting her senses, Theary learned to achieve flavor in dishes that looked as good as they tasted. These skills enabled her to feel at home regardless of the cuisine she's exploring. For the past 20 years, Theary has been bringing her love of art and cooking to children and adults, teaching fundamentals as building blocks for creativity. The result is a safe and encouraging environment for students to explore their imaginations. Her goal is for each student to have a positive experience that inspires self-confidence, and the opportunity to connect with their own creativity. Theary is currently a K-6 educator locally and in Sonoma County. In her spare time, she spends time in the water, kayaking, hiking, or biking.
