This plate of Cambodian raw fish salad, ភ្លាសាច់ត្រី (phlea sach trei), brings together silky slices of fish with bitter melon, bean sprouts, and garden-fresh herbs. The lime and fish-sauce dressing lightly “cooks” the fish, creating a bright ceviche-style salad rooted in everyday Khmer home cooking. It is the kind of dish you crave on a hot Phnom Penh afternoon: crisp, aromatic, and quietly addictive.
