Got the dictionary out and guessed om-pil as they spell it might be tamarind. It is indeed. Thanks anyway, back to the shops. We are in FNQ where there are no other scruffy Khmers.

Re: Khmer stuff for cooking
ampeul is salt.
dteuk ampeul would be salty water. Brine?
You're welcome.

On the other hand, ampil is tamarind. So, it could be ripe tamarind mixed with water in a nice stew for a sour taste.
Good luck with that.

Re: Khmer stuff for cooking
Ampeul is indeed tamarind but since your wife said, "it means being very upset, stressed", I suspect that she either used or had the following idiom in mind, "Mien muk chu doach nyam ampeul.". I.e. To have a sour face like eating tamarind. I think it is best translated as "to be out of sorts." Something is wrong but there no indication of its origin. A comparable idiom is found in muk s'oi muk s'oi.
As my old Cajun bait seller used to say, "I opes you luck.

Re: Khmer stuff for cooking
Dteuk means water , ampeul means tamarind. They use tamarind to make sour sauce for cooking.
