Pour in the coconut milk and add the thinly sliced kaffir lime leaves. Bring to a gentle simmer and cook for 15-20 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the sauce has thickened and the flavors have melded.
💡 Conseils de pro: Ensure the heat is low enough to prevent the coconut milk from splitting. - 5
Taste and adjust seasoning as needed. The dip should be savory, slightly sweet, and have a distinct umami flavor from the prahok.
💡 Conseils de pro: If the dip is too thick, add a little more coconut milk or water. If too thin, simmer uncovered for a few more minutes. - 6
Transfer the Prahok Ktis to a serving bowl. Garnish with thinly sliced garlic and serve hot with an assortment of fresh vegetables for dipping.
💡 Conseils de pro: Serve with rice or rice crackers as well.
