When incubating, the Khmer people   Arrange the fish - cold rice - salt in layers until full and use a heavy object or bamboo slats on top to compact.

During the fermentation process, they will use the water that overflows from the jar to create a fish sauce with a very distinctive flavor. The remaining fish sauce can be used after about 6 - 8 months of fermentation.
