Samlar machu

Samlar machu

"Samlar machu" (សម្លម្ជូរ) is the Khmer term for a genus of sour ("machu") soups ("samlar", also "samlor", "salaw", or "salor") popularly known in English as simply "Cambodian sour soup."

There are many types of Khmer sour soups, but the most popular variation is "samlor machu moun" (sour chicken soup), which is notable for the use of pickled lime. The sour flavour of the soup comes from the use of tamarind and certain tangy vegetables such as tomato and pineapple, as well as "Tiliacora triandra" leaves. Meat in this type of soup is usually that of either chicken, fish, or pork. In recent times, instead of using fresh tamarind, a powdered tamarind soup base is used. One popular brand is manufactured by Knorr.

The soup is similar to the Vietnamese "canh chua".
