Fish and Pork or Tofu salad
This is Khmer Fish and Pork or Tofu salad. The best fish for this recipe is Mud fish dot or Ang. Many fishermen homes in Cambodia along the Mekong River or Tunlesap River cook fish and make tuk Trey chralourk. This recipe is best with tamarind dressing not lime dressing, but I give you both dressing to try out. If you are a vegetarian go ahead and use Tofu instead. Adjust the dressing to your taste.
