🇰🇭 Cambodia recipe
Sngor Chrouk
Sngor Chrouk is a comforting Cambodian sour soup with pork, a homey dish that graces family tables especially during the rainy season. Tender slices of pork simmer in a fragrant tamarind broth with green papaya, tomatoes, and aromatic herbs, creating a light yet deeply satisfying soup. The balance of sour tamarind, savory pork, and the subtle sweetness of green papaya makes this a quintessential everyday Cambodian comfort food.
