캄보디아 전통 음식인 프라혹은 '발효한 생선'이라는 뜻으로 '리엘'이라는 물고기를 발효한 젓갈인데 강하고 자극적인 냄새와 맛으로 유명하다. 캄보디아 화폐단위가 리엘인 것을 보면 프라혹이 얼마나 일상적이고도 중요한 음식인지 알 수 있다.

Prahok

Prahok is a salted and fermented fish paste (usually of mudfish) used in Cambodian cuisine as a seasoning or a condiment. It originated as a way of preserving fish during the time of the year when fresh fish was not available in abundant supply. Because of its saltiness and strong flavor, it was used as an addition to many meals in Cambodian cuisine, including soups and sauces.
