Lort cha (Khmer: លតឆា) is a Cambodian Chinese street food dish made by stir-frying silver needle noodles (លត, lort) with garlic, bean sprouts and scallions or chives, as well as Chinese greens or cabbage, beef, chicken or pork, in a mixture of palm sugar, fish sauce and dark soy sauce and served with a fried egg.[1] In 2022, BBC named it as one of the 50 best street foods in Asia.[2][3]

Preparation

Finely chopped garlic is fried in a wok before adding noodles and the sauce-sugar mixture and stir-frying for a few minutes and then adding blanched bean sprouts and scallions or chives and stir-frying for a few more minutes and serving it with a fried egg on top and finely-sliced chillies, scallions or chives, blanched bean sprouts, and chili sauce, soy and fish sauce on the side.[1]

The ingredients can also be partially stir-fried separately in three batches, starting with garlic, ginger and marinated pork followed by noodles and then by garlic shoots and gai lan before combing all the stir-fried ingredients and stir-frying them together for a few more minutes and serving with a fried egg on top and bean sprouts, lime halves, and chili oil on the side.[4]
