Cambodia

The kroeung paste is Cambodia's culinary signature — ground lemongrass, galangal, kaffir lime, turmeric and garlic.

Lemongrass stir-fry — beef, chicken or frog's legs stir-fried with kroeung paste, kaffir lime leaves and green peppercorns. The kroeung paste makes it distinctly Khmer.

Chef's Tip

High heat and a hot wok are essential — the kroeung paste needs to fry, not steam, to develop its flavour.
