🇰🇭 Cambodia recipe
Pleah Sach Ko
Pleah Sach Ko is Cambodia's answer to beef tartare, a vibrant and refreshing lime-cured beef salad that showcases the Khmer love of bold, raw flavors. Paper-thin slices of beef are bathed in a generous amount of fresh lime juice until the acid gently cooks the exterior, then tossed with lemongrass, shallots, mint, toasted rice powder, and a whisper of fish sauce. The dish is electrifying in its freshness.
