Cambodian fish soup, also known as Amok in Cambodia, is a delicious soup made with cod and coconut cream. The soup gets much of its flavor from the fresh herbs in this recipe, including fresh cilantro and fresh mint. The best way to serve this fish soup (for looks and for taste) is with a beautiful, hearty dollop of coconut cream on top. MMM! Enjoy!
Add the zests, garlic, mint, cilantro, and turmeric and cook, stirring until fragrant
Add coconut milk, fish sauce, and brown sugar and allow to cook for 10 minutes
Add cod and allow to cook for another 10 or so minutes, until cod is cooked all the way through.
Serve with coconut cream.

Notes
Traditional Amok is steamed in banana leaves. It sometimes takes the texture of custard. This amok has similar ingredients to traditional Cambodian amok, but has a different cooking style and, therefore, a different texture. In my opinion, this version is best served over rice.Recipe copyright The Foreign Fork. For educational or personal use only.
