Cambodian Pahut
These delightful Cambodian fish patties are crispy on the outside and tender on the inside. Finely ground fish and an assortment of aromatic spices result in a flavor-packed treat. The combination of lemongrass, galangal, and lime flavors lends a distinctive Cambodian touch to the dish. If desired, add some heat with fresh chilies or replace the fish with poultry or meat.
