While most kuy teav is served as a noodle soup, Phnom Penh's famous "dry" version separates the components. The rice noodles are tossed in a rich sauce of oyster sauce, soy sauce, and garlic oil, topped with sliced pork, minced pork, liver, and a fried egg. The clear broth is served on the side for sipping. This style originated in Phnom Penh's Chinese-Khmer community and has become iconic.
