Bobor is Cambodia's version of congee — a silky rice porridge that's the gentlest of breakfast options. Jasmine rice is simmered until it breaks down into a thick, creamy consistency, then topped with shredded chicken (or pork or fish), ginger slices, fried garlic, green onion, and a dash of fish sauce. It's the go-to comfort food for anyone feeling unwell or wanting a light start to the day.
