Ginger and galanga, Cambodia's iconic roots
Our Khmer Root Sauce pays tribute to two treasures of Cambodian soil. Harvested at an early stage, the ginger young (Zingiber officinale) gives the sauce a spicy, lively and aromatic freshness, reflecting the vitality of Kampot's land. Its spicy, warm and subtly sweet flavour enriches local cuisine while being valued for its traditional virtues.
The galanga, close to ginger, reveals deeper and lemony aromas. Its robust and clear rhizome, more fibrous, is an essential component of Cambodian traditional recipes: it brings to this sauce its exotic and singular signature.
A sauce with aromas rewarded
Our Khmer Root Sauce is a rich sensory composition that evokes Kampot's abundant gardens. The aromatic potency of the roots — ginger, galanga and turmeric — constitutes the backbone of this sauce with an assertive character. Their intensity is delicately counterbalanced by the sweetness of ripe banana and caramelized notes of palm flower sugar.
Awarded at the prestigious Best Of 2022 from the Salon Gourmet, this creation highlights the excellence of La Plantation's artisanal work.
Composition: young ginger, galanga, turmeric, banana, fresh ginger, onion, red sugar, vinegar, lime juice, salt, water — each ingredient is carefully selected in our Kampot farm to ensure quality and freshness.
Inspired by British PiccalilliOur Khmer Root Sauce is a condiment of great versatility.
Some suggestions
- Daily — with meat, fish or vegetables, it instantly raises your dishes.
- In marinade — Apply it to chicken or fish before cooking, for an explosion of flavors.
- With cheeses — Mix it with sheep's bush, or serve it with refined cheeses such as county or beaufort.
- In dip — a refreshing and spicy alternative for spring rolls.
- Fatty or smoked fish — perfect with salmon, grilled or smoked.
- Sushi, sashimi, poke — a unique aromatic touch.

After opening, the sauce must be preserved in refrigerator. Close the stopper carefully after each use, and keep it away from light and heat.
The right move: gently shake before use to mix the ingredients well, and remove it a few minutes before use — this will facilitate the flow of sauce, naturally thick.
