Nom Banh Chok (Khmer Noodles)

About

The quintessential Cambodian breakfast — thin, round rice noodles topped with a light fish-based green curry sauce made from lemongrass, kaffir lime, and young green jackfruit, then buried under a mountain of fresh herbs: mint, banana flower, bean sprouts, cucumber, and water lily stems. Sold from street carts throughout Cambodia from early morning and gone by noon, nom banh chok is the dish that Cambodians miss most when they travel. Fresh, clean, aromatic, and completely unlike anything else in the region.
