Dish guide

Khor ko

Khor ko (ខគោ) is a Cambodian beef stew built around slowly simmered beef and a richly seasoned broth. Aromatics and vegetables vary between recipes, so this guide treats the dish as a family of preparations rather than one fixed formula.

One documented version serves the stew with rice noodles as kuy teav khor ko; another common option is to serve the beef and broth with bread. This page describes the wider dish. The linked recipe is one specific noodle-soup preparation.
