Savoring Cambodian Amok Curry on a Low-Histamine Diet: Your Safe Dining Guide

Cambodian Amok Curry, a fragrant steamed fish delight wrapped in banana leaves, is a culinary treasure. But for those managing histamine intolerance, navigating this dish can be daunting. Traditional ingredients like fermented fish paste (prahok), coconut milk, and spices may trigger reactions. Here’s how to enjoy Amok worry-free with the mm food app.

Why Amok Curry Poses Histamine Challenges

Key high-histamine components in classic Amok include:

• Prahok: Fermented fish base (high histamine)
• Coconut milk: Often canned, causing histamine buildup
• Spice blends: May contain histamine-releasing ingredients
• Seafood: Fish varieties like snakehead fish vary in freshness
• Leftovers: Often reheated, increasing histamine levels
