Amok Trey
Steamed catfish and coconut curry with yellow kroeung, prahok and noni leaves.
About Amok Trey
Grantourismo’s fish amok is based on an older Cambodian family’s recipe documented by Lara Dunston and Terence Carter. This catfish version combines yellow kroeung, coconut milk, egg and prahok in a banana-leaf basket lined with young noni leaves.
Lemongrass, galangal, fresh turmeric, makrut lime zest, garlic and shallot form the aromatic paste. Red chilli, fish sauce, palm sugar and salt balance the rich coconut mixture.
The steamed filling is firm yet moist, with a light, custard-like character. Coconut milk, sliced makrut lime leaves and red chilli finish the basket, with steamed rice alongside.
