AMOK
Khmer Steamed Fish Curry
Amok is a special dish in Cambodia. At its heart is the kroeung, the Khmer curry paste made of fresh aromatics like lemongrass, galangal, turmeric, makrut lime leaves, and fingerroot (also known as Chinese ginger) that are pounded to a paste in a mortar and pestle. I’ve made it here with ingredients you can find at local Asian markets, along with some “Khmer mom” tips!
