Today I am going to show you how to make this curry eating with Khmer Noodles. This delicious food is traditionally served at special occasions in Cambodia such as weddings, family gathering and religious holiday such as Pchum Ben or Ancestor’s Day.

Instructions: Step 1

Cook red garlic on the skillet, turns the heat and stir it without oil until it turns brown about 1 minuets. Set it aside.

Step 4

Smash an anise all together and set it with the garlic. It is a pungent spice that can completely outshine all other flavors in a dish.

Step 5

Heating Coconut Milk
You can also use fresh coconut milk or coconut milk products. Like heavy cream, it will stand up to cooking and boiling, becoming more concentrated as water evaporates from it. Coconut milk doesn't "break," or curdle, when it 's heated. Just when it cooked it about 2-3 minutes, add the curry red sauce into the pot.

Step 6

Stirring the red sauce and coconut milk together in the pot, then carefully transfer all the garlic and nuts into the pot.

Now, pour about 1 tablespoon of spicy red powder into the pot, stirring all the ingredients together over medium heat. When it turns dark red, add Kroeung and stir it together.

Step 7

I used about 1 tablespoon of shrimp paste. Add to the pot.

Add the amount of water to cover the chicken, also pour some sugar and salt to the pot too.

Step 8

After 30 minutes, the chicken is obviously cooked, add fish sauce. Here I use about 1 tablespoon.

Step 9

Then add the onion, potatoes and green beans, simmer for another 2 minutes.

Step 10

Season with salt to taste, and bring back to boil and simmer gently for a few more minutes. You can Serve with freshly steamed jasmine rice. Drizzle with a little chilli oil (if using) and scatter some chopped peanuts on the side.
