Prahok
Description
Prahok is a traditional Cambodian fermented fish paste made from salted, crushed, and fermented river fish. Acting as a foundational ingredient in Khmer cuisine, it is prized for its pungent aroma—often earning it the nickname "Cambodian cheese"—and its deep, savory umami flavor.Because it is intensely salty and strong, it is rarely eaten on its own, but rather used as a seasoning or a condiment.
