Thoroughly clean the chicken intestines under running water, then let them drain.
In a large pot, bring 500 milliliters of water to boil. Add chicken intestines and boil for 10 minutes. Drain and set aside.
In a large pan, heat 2 tablespoons of cooking oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, ginger, and sliced shallots. Sauté until fragrant, about 3 minutes.
Add the bruised lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, bay leaves, turmeric, and sliced red chili peppers to the pan. Cook for another 2 minutes until the spices release their aroma.
Add the boiled chicken intestines to the pan and stir well to coat them with the spice mixture.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir to combine. Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer.
Add the green beans and carrots into the pan. Season with salt and black pepper.
Cover the pan and let it simmer on low heat for 45 minutes, stirring occasionally, until the intestines are tender and the vegetables are cooked through.
Adjust seasoning with more salt and pepper if needed and remove from heat.
Serve the Sugar-Free Sayur Usus hot, along with steamed rice, and enjoy!
