Savor Safely: FODMAP-Friendly Cambodian Amok Curry Unleashed

Cambodian Amok Curry – a fragrant symphony of coconut milk, lemongrass, and spices steamed in banana leaves – is a culinary jewel. But for those managing IBS or FODMAP sensitivities, traditional versions can be problematic. With mm food's dietary analysis, you can confidently enjoy this Southeast Asian delight by understanding and adapting key ingredients.

Why Traditional Amok Challenges FODMAP Diets

Classic recipes often include high-FODMAP culprits:

• Galangal & Garlic: Common triggers in spice pastes (use garlic-infused oil instead)
• Shallots/Onions: Swap for chives or green onion greens
• Coconut Milk: Stick to 1/2 cup servings (low-FODMAP threshold)
• Bean Sprouts: Replace with bok choy or spinach
