During Pchum Ben Day in Cambodia which conduct around 15 days. Cambodian people always make tradition cake for serve the guest or relative come to visit them.
Normally, we made tradition cake on 13th/14th of the celebration day. This traditional cake we called <Nom On Som>. We can add the last word with <Jrok / Jek> it mean the middle of the cake there are pork or banana.
For making cake, we should prepare in advance something such as banana leaf, tie, green bean and sticky rice. Banana leaf should put under the sunshine at least one day. To make it soft and easy to wrap the cake. And previous time, we use banana trunk to make the tie. We can slide banana trunk and put under sunshine too. It is very nature way to make cake but now a day we use plastic tie to tie up the cake. Green bean and sticky rice need to keep in water for one night to be ready for wrap together.
If cake that in side we use pork, we should put sticky rice is the first layer, second layer is green bean and the final one is pork.
<Sticky rice must be add some salt to make it tasty and pork also need to be put some sugar, salt and black peppers>
The first and second photo are cake make with pork. We called "Nom On Som Jrok".
The last photo is banana cake because inside we put banana. For banana cake, we no need to put green bean. And banana cake, there are two way to cook it, one is bold and other one is grilled. I like both style.
**I forget about coconut meat. We need slide coconut meat and mix with sticky rice. So coconut meat will make more delicious both taste and smell.
