Rick Stein's Far Eastern Odyssey
Cambodia & Vietnam
S1 E1:
Rick begins his odyssey in Cambodia, where he discovers the joys of freshly caught swimmer crabs cooked with green peppercorns from Kampot, once the king of pepper. He learns how to cook the most famous dish in the country, fish amok, made with lemongrass and coconut. He also samples lok lak, an extremely popular and delicious dish made with stir-fried strips of marinated beef. Like most people who come here, Rick visits the awe-inspiring Angkor Wat temple (the very symbol of the country), before joining a rice barge to take him down the mighty Mekong River to the border of Vietnam.
