How to Make Char Kroeung
- Blend all paste ingredients (see below) in a blender until completely smooth.
- Transfer the paste to a bowl, add the meat, and mix thoroughly to coat.
- Heat 2 tablespoons of oil in a large wok or skillet over medium-high heat.
- Add the marinated meat, stirring frequently until browned and cooked through.
- Add 2 tablespoons fish sauce, 1 tablespoon sugar, and 1/2 teaspoon salt. Stir constantly until the sauce is bubbling and slightly thickened.
- Add 1 medium onion, cut into wedges, and cook, stirring occasionally, until softened and translucent (about 3-4 minutes).
- Stir in 1 red bell pepper, thinly sliced, and 6 tablespoons of roasted peanuts.
- Continue to stir for another minute, allowing the flavors to meld. Remove from heat.
- Garnish with the remaining 2 tablespoons of roasted peanuts and serve immediately over rice vermicelli noodles. Accompany with fresh lettuce leaves, mint sprigs, and bean sprouts for a refreshing contrast.
