🇰🇭 Cambodia recipe

Ang Dtray-Meuk

Ang Dtray-Meuk is a beloved Cambodian street food of whole squid marinated in a sweet and tangy lime-pepper glaze, then grilled over fierce charcoal until tender and beautifully charred. Found along riverside promenades and night markets across Cambodia, the squid is scored in a crosshatch pattern for even cooking and served with a fiery chili-lime dipping sauce and sticky rice.
