Phnom Penh Amok Paste
by Dale Moody
A vendor at a Phnom Penh street stall presses a wooden mortar and pestle against a chipped granite slab, pulverizing kaffir lime leaves and chilies for a fresh amok paste. The scene is lit by the harsh, flat light of a winter noon, casting sharp shadows beneath the corrugated zinc roof of the stall. Bright yellow turmeric stains the vendor’s fingers, against the grey stone. Behind the preparation area, plastic stools in primary red and blue are stacked, while a woven basket holds bundles of fresh galangal. The composition shows the tactile violence of food preparation, grounded by the vibrant, chaotic colors of the market surroundings and the utilitarian textures of the plastic and stone.
