Kdam Prang is a Cambodian pan dish of fresh crab that you fry with garlic, onion and chili and simmer in tamarind juice, fish sauce and palm sugar. The sauce tastes sour, sweet and salty, and the chilies add mild heat.

- 2 red chilies, seeded and cut into thin strips
- 100 ml tamarind juice
- 50 ml fish sauce
- 2 tablespoons palm sugar
- 1 teaspoon salt
- Chopped cilantro for garnish
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large pot or pan over medium heat.
- Add the garlic and onion and fry until soft and fragrant.
- Add the crab pieces and fry for about 3 to 4 minutes, until almost cooked through.
- Add the chilies, tamarind juice, fish sauce, palm sugar and salt. Stir well and simmer until the sauce thickens and the crab is fully cooked.
