Bai sach chrouk is believed to have originated in Cambodia during the reign of King Ang Duong (1841-1904) as an alternative to traditional glutinous rice dishes during Khmer New Year celebrations because glutinous rice was not available at that time of year.
Bai sach chrouk is made with broken rice, coconut milk, sugar, and water—all mixed together in a pot over medium heat until the sugar dissolves. Then you add your toppings: shrimp paste, dried shrimp, pork rinds (or thinly sliced pork), fried garlic, sliced shallots and cucumbers, bean sprouts and cilantro. The dish is finished with a squeeze of lime juice and some chili powder if desired.
