Baku Kitchen! An independent reference of traditional food

Cambodia

Gentle aromatic Khmer food: freshwater fish, prahok funk, kroeung spice pastes and Kampot pepper. That is the short version of what Cambodia cooks. Look for Fish Amok (fish in coconut-kroeung custard steamed in a banana-leaf cup), Num Banh Chok (morning rice noodles under green fish gravy and raw vegetables) and Kuy Teav (pork-bone noodle soup with beansprouts, lime and fried garlic). Freshwater fish set in a coconut and kroeung custard steamed in banana leaf; said to descend from Angkor-era court cooking.
