🍲 Cambodian Hot Pot 🍲

In Cambodian cuisine, hot pot is called yao hon (យ៉ាវហន), though some regions call it chhnang pleurng (ឆ្នាំងភ្លើង), which literally translates to "pot fire". It is usually eaten during celebrations or family gatherings. Yao Hon is a simmering broth that sits on a burner at the center of the table, surrounded by plates of raw meats, seafood, vegetables, and noodles. Ingredients are dipped and cooked in the broth, then taken out and dipped in sauce before eating and enjoying. There's such a wide variety of ingredients to throw into your hot pot, making it a great communal dish to share with friends and family — everyone shares all of the ingredients, giving people an opportunity to try out different things, as well as enjoy their favorites.
