What are the specialties of Cambodia

1, Khmer red curry (Khmer red curry)

Khmer red curry is not as spicy as Thai curry, the same use of coconut milk as the base but not too much into the chili. The dish comes with beef, chicken or fish, eggplant, green beans, fresh coconut milk, lemongrass and kroeung sauce. Khmer red curry is often served with bread due to French cultural influences.

This dish is usually served on special occasions in Cambodia, such as weddings, family gatherings, or religious festivals such as the Day of the Dead or Ching Ming Festival.

2. Lap Khmer Beef Salad (Lap Khmer)

The beef in the Lap Khmer Beef Salad is sliced thinly so that it can easily absorb the lime juice. It is more like a steak than a salad. The dish is popular with Cambodian men who like their meat on the raw side, but roast beef is often served in restaurants.

The whole arrival is loaded with lemon herbs, scallions, garlic, fish sauce, nixtamal, mint, green beans and green peppers. This sweet and savory delicacy is equally spicy because of the many fresh red peppers.

3. Nom banh chok (rice noodle soup)

Rice noodle soup is often served as breakfast food. It consists of rice noodles and green curry made with lemon herbs, turmeric root, and Thai limes, covered with mint leaves, bean sprouts, mung beans, banana blossoms, cucumbers, and other vegetables. A red curry version is also available for celebrations and weddings.

4. Red tree ants with beef and holy basil

You'll see all kinds of insects on Cambodian menus, including poisonous spiders. But the one that appeals most to foreigners' palates has to be the Holy Basil Red Tree Ant Beef.

It consists of ants of various sizes sautéed with ginger, lemongrass, green onions, garlic and thinly sliced beef, with plenty of red chili peppers, but they don't overpower the sour flavor the ants give the beef. Serve this dish with rice, and if you're lucky enough, you might even find some ant larvae in your bowl.
