If you love Cambodian flavours, you must cook with Kroeung, a delicious lemongrass, galangal and turmeric aromatic paste that is found in many traditional dishes. Cha Kroeung is typically cooked with chicken or beef, while our recipe uses cauliflower to make this gorgeous stir fry that goes great with our white or semi-milled jasmine rice!
