Num Pang is Cambodia's answer to the Vietnamese bánh mì — a crispy French baguette filled with a spread of pâté and butter, pickled daikon and carrots, cucumber, cilantro, and your choice of grilled pork, chicken, or sardines. A legacy of French colonialism, the Cambodian version tends to be simpler than its Vietnamese counterpart but equally delicious. It's the ultimate grab-and-go breakfast or snack.
