Por favor, sach ko

Pleah sach ko is a Cambodian-style beef ceviche. The dish is typically made with thin, bite-sized pieces of raw beef that are first marinated in lime juice, and then covered with a clear broth of lime juice, fish sauce, and sugar. A variety of chopped up vegetables and fresh herbs are usually added to the dish, while minced prohok, fish sauce, or even slices of beef tripe are optional. Typical ingredients include green eggplants, shallots, garlic, radishes, bell peppers, jalapeño peppers, green onions, and freshly chopped herbs such as saw leaf, lemongrass, basil, mint, and cilantro. Sour and spicy, the ceviche is usually topped with roasted ground rice and crushed peanuts, and it can be served either warm or chilled. In Cambodia, pleah sach ko is commonly prepared for weddings and similar festive occasions.
