a plate of mango onion, squid, onions and peanuts

This delicious Cambodia squid and mango salad is served with a sweet fish sauce called tirk trey chu p’em in Khmer. The sauce is a little different but becomes very addicting. All the ingredients meld together as a feast for the palate.

This country food is from Karmourn Sor the Rach Gia province in Cambodia. This recipe is delicious as an appetizer or served with rice for a meal. Make sure to use the freshest squid (also known as calamari) when preparing this dish. Also please note that this is typically made with a green mango not a ripe one. I could not find a green one and the result was still amazing.
