Nom Banh Chok – Sam Khmer Noodles - SR Group-Cambodia

Skip to content Khmer Rice Noodles or known as ‘Nom Banh Chok’ by Khmer has been consumed in ancient Khmer civilisation for a long time, as we all know rice is a staple food in Asian culture. Today, Nom Banh Chok is a popular and represent as a traditional food in Cambodia. ‘Nom Banh Chok’ generally refer to the traditional rice noodles which can be served food staple or a side dish. Rice, a cereal grain originated thousands of years ago in Asia, in a broad arc stretching from eastern India through to Burma (Myanmar), Thailand, Laos, Cambodia, northern Vietnam and southern China. The domestication of rice is considered one of the most important developments in human history over 10,000 years. The traditional method for cultivating rice is flooding the fields while, or after, setting the young seedlings. This simple method requires sound planning and servicing of the water damming and channeling, but reduces the growth of less robust weed and pest plants that have no submerged growth state, and deters vermin. While flooding is not mandatory for the cultivation of rice, all other methods of irrigation require higher effort in weed and pest control during growth periods and a different approach for fertilizing the soil. The varieties of rice are typically classified as long-, medium-, and short-grained. The rice use to make Nom Banh Chok  is long-grained. The edible seed is a grain (caryopsis) 5–12 mm long and 2–3 mm thick.
