Samlor Kako

Samlar Kakou is a cherished traditional soup from Cambodia, often celebrated as one of the nation's culinary treasures. This hearty dish features an enchanting blend of kroeung (a fragrant Cambodian spice paste), fish paste, fish, pork, or chicken, along with a variety of vegetables. What distinguishes Samlar Kakou from other Khmer dishes is its capacity to serve as a well-balanced, one-pot meal.

For those who prefer a vegetarian variation, there's a delectable alternative in which the fish and meat are replaced with coconut cream and vegetable stock. This version preserves the rich flavors and comforting essence of the original, making it a versatile favorite for a wide range of palates.
