Rice noodles are a staple food in many Asian countries and globally few people would be unaware of pre-packed instant noodles, or cup noodle snacks. But the dry form of rice noodles that many consumers are aware of are far from the way people in Cambodia consume rice noodles. In Cambodia rice noodles (Num Banh Chok) are not only a common breakfast component, but also part of the country’s national identity.
According to Cambodian folklore rice noodles originated in Cambodia and were introduced to China by Thun Chey, a third-century peasant who was exiled there after incurring the wrath of a Khmer king. In China he sold Num Banh Chok for a living — according to legend the first time the Chinese had eaten rice noodles — with his reputation seeing him summonsed to prepare the unique dish for a Chinese Emperor. Incurring the wrath of the emperor he was thrown into jail, before being deported back to Cambodia.

Traditionally served with Somlor Kari, a salty, sweet, spicy and sour Khmer curry, or Somlor Proher, a soup of which the main ingredient is a mashed fresh water fish with lemongrass and other local herbs, Num Banh Chok is also commonly served in soup with beef, pork, chicken, or seafood, accompanied by vegetables including thinly sliced cucumbers, bean spout, banana blossom, long beans, water lily stems, chilies, basil, and mint. Most Khmer eat Num Banh Chok many times a week.
While market demands mean that a large amount of the Num Banh Chok consumed daily in Cambodia is produced in factories, traditionally made Num Banh Chok with no preservatives remains popular with consumers, and a valuable skill passed down from one generation to another.
