3.Bake for 35-4O minutes. Remove and top it with the fried onion shreds while the custard is still hot. Some put the onion on it a few minutes before the custard pan was taken out from the oven.

4.The custard or Kha'NOm+Moo"Kaeng should be left cool before serving. Cut the custard in 2" x 2" square and put it on a nice saucer with a small spoon for an individual serving.

5.To prepare the onion shreds, first peel red small onion, wash it with water and cut it into thin wedges. Heat two table spoons of cooking oil in a wok. When the oil is heated, put in the wedged onion and fry it back and forth until it becomes golden brown. Take the shreds out of the pan. Leave them on a plated paved with a paper towel to let the oil soaked off.
