Prahok Ktis (Fermented Fish Dip)
Prahok Ktis is a salty fermented fish dipping that Cambodians love. They humorously call Prahok the “Cambodian Cheese” for its unique texture and versatility that can be added to most dishes in Cambodian cuisine, just like cheese!
The locals will wrap the prahok paste in banana leaves and grill them whole. It is also an excellent way for Cambodians to preserve fish when no fresh fish is available. Prahok Ktis is so popular as an addition to other foods that the locals likely use it to replace salt in a recipe!
However, Cambodians also serve this special delight with steamed rice and vegetables (cucumbers, yardlong beans, eggplants, etc.) to become a filling main dish! You can have this meal any time of the day.
