Fish amok is among the most widely known Cambodian meals, however you'll discover comparable dishes in surrounding nations. Fish amok is a fish mousse with fresh coconut milk and kroeung, a kind of Khmer curry paste made from lemongrass, turmeric root, garlic, shallots, galangal and fingerroot, or Chinese ginger.
The addition of slok ngor, a regional natural herb that imparts a discreetly bitter taste, separates the Cambodian variation from the pack. At upscale dining establishments fish amok is steamed in a banana leaf, while more regional locations serve a boiled variation that is more like a slushy fish curry than a mousse.
