Waterlily Sour Soup 🍲 Ital & Vegan Recipe

Greetings everyone 😊! I have another recipe to share on Hive with you all. This is another one of my favorite dishes from Cambodia. Normally Cambodians make this dish with fish, prahok (fermented fish paste), and small freshwater shrimps.

I change this traditional recipe to vegan five years already.. In my country we eat raw waterlily with Khmer noodles, Khmer curry, sour soup, stir fry with meat/eggs, and with other foods too.
