Bai pong moan (Khmer: បាយពងមាន់, bay pông moăn [baːj pɔːŋ mŏən], lit. ''rice and chicken eggs'') is a Cambodian dish consisting of fried eggs and white rice. Beaten eggs are preferred and herbs are often added for flavor. Unbeaten eggs are usually cooked until crisp on one side and somewhat raw on the other side. Salt, soy sauce, or fish sauce can be used to flavor the eggs, and soy sauce can also be applied to the rice.[1]
