In Cambodia it is called Yao He.

It is a kind of salty recipe.

Yao He is made from raw shrimp mixed with salt, the same as pickled food. It can be found in sea provinces such as Sihanoukville, Kampot, Kep, and Koh Kong. Also, it can be found in Phnom Penh markets, especially Central Market.

It is very salty, which I don’t recommend to old people and people with high blood pressure.

For me, it is delicious, and I like eating it with steamed rice. Mostly, I add lemon juice to reduce its salt.

Because of its hard taste, after eating it, I drink warm water, or my throat will hurt, and sometimes it may affect my nose.

My purpose for writing about this Yao He is to show the types of Cambodian food to the world, but I don’t recommend you eat it… unless you want to try, but please be careful since it is tasty but not healthy food.
