Introduction to Cambodian Cuisine
In Khmer “Niam Bay” is the word for eating but the real meaning is “eating rice” showing how important rice is in Cambodia. Almost every meal is eaten with a bowl of rice. A big variety of rice seeds are grown and displayed at the local markets.
Cambodian food is a over thousand-year-old tradition and has expanded its variety thanks to the influence of its neighbors. The steaming method and noodles have been brought by China whereas the curries come from India. And the delicious baguettes are a legacy of the French.
The two rivers of Cambodia – the Tonle Sap and the Mekong – provide abundant fresh fish. Fish prickled in wine, salt fish, dried and smoked fish are also widely available to provide essential proteins all year around.
Coconut milk is the main ingredient of many Khmer curries and desserts. Cambodian cuisine also widely uses fish sauce in soups and stir-fries cuisine.
Cambodian dishes have a unique and distinctive taste rather mild compared to neighbors Vietnam and Thailand.
