In Cambodia, festive meals almost always include a dish made with fresh rice vermicelli (នំបញ្ចុក [nom bânh-chok]), served with plenty of raw vegetables (អន្លក់ [ân-luk]) and accompanied by a fairly thick, coconut-milk-based soup, most often containing flaked freshwater fish and seasoned with numerous spices. The soup resembles a liquid curry. One of the most popular versions of this dish is called "nam-ya" (ណាំយ៉ា) or "nam-ya curry" (ការីណាំយ៉ា).
