We revisit an episode from last year, in which the author and cook talks to Kate about what she remembers about fleeing her home in Cambodia at the age of nine, five years before the genocide; why, and how, she decided to reclaim her family's recipes; and what brings her true happiness now.

The recipe mentioned on today's show can be found on the Bittman Project, here: https://bittmanproject.com/recipe/chantha-nguons-sour-chicken-lime-soup-village-style-sgnao-chruok-sach-mouan
