Kuy (pronounced "Kwee") came to America as a young refugee from the turmoil in Cambodia. Her extended family settled in Tacoma, Washington, and Kuy eventually started a restaurant in Saint Helens, Oregon. For the next quarter century she served Cambodian, Thai, and Vietnamese food and the flavors of S.E. Asia to local customers. The Sauces here presented are a result of her efforts. The flavors and uses of these products come directly from the menu and are useful in a great many dishes. They are the basic sauces modified somewhat from the original for the American taste.
