...who’s eaten the fish sauce-laden cuisines of Thailand and Vietnam. Much like these cuisines, Cambodian food uses an abundance of aromatic herbs for vibrant flavor, fresh chiles for heat and spices for complexity. Dishes are often augmented with a pinch of sugar, supplying a characteristic sweet and sour taste. But it is the distinctive prahok that gives Cambodian food such a unique flavor.
