What it is
Cambodia's crown jewel: river fish poached in a lemongrass-kroeung coconut curry, steamed in a banana-leaf cup until it sets like a mousse. Ingredients: freshwater fish (or salmon), kroeung paste (lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, kaffir lime, garlic, shallots), coconut milk and cream, fish sauce, palm sugar, eggs, noni or spinach leaves, kaffir lime zest, red chile. Recipe: 1) Pound the kroeung. 2) Whisk fish, paste, coconut milk and egg into a custard. 3) Line banana-leaf cups with noni leaves; fill. 4) Steam 20-30 minutes until set; top with coconut cream, lime leaf and chile. Serve: with white rice — the dish served to honoured guests. Flavor: aromatic, gently sweet, custard-soft. History: amok's roots run to the Angkor-era court; the steaming technique and kroeung base define classical Khmer cooking. See also: Nom Banh Chok, Beef Lok Lak.
