Discover Cambodian (Khmer) cuisine โ fish amok, kroeung spice pastes, prahok, num banh chok, and subtle Southeast Asian flavors.
3 recipes
Cambodian (Khmer) cuisine is built on kroeung (aromatic spice pastes of lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, turmeric), prahok (fermented fish paste), and freshwater fish. Less chili-forward than Thai cooking, it balances sour, sweet, and herbal notes. Fish amok (steamed mousse curry) is the signature dish.
