1 red chili
1 teaspoon of turmeric
1 teaspoon of fish sauce
1 tablespoon of brown sugar
Salt to taste
1 tablespoon of vegetable oil

Instructions

First, prepare the Kroeung Prawlak sauce. In a blender, combine the garlic, lemongrass, red chili, turmeric, fish sauce, brown sugar, and salt. Blend until it forms a smooth paste.
