Notes
Every bite of this corn casserole is guaranteed to be memorable. The natural sweetness from the corn, with a hint of salt, Kampot pepper, coded with Cambodian creamy coconut sauce make this side dish the conversation of your next dinner gathering. The same sauce in this recipe is traditionally served on BBQ corn on a cob, which is known as Poat Ang (grilled corn). Having lived in corn-country (Nebraska), I couldn’t help but prepare this authentic Cambodian favorite the way my Nebraskan family would, “Bake It!”. Thus this dish is inspired by both of my childhood in Cambodia and what I learn to love in the American heartland.
