Thoroughly clean the chicken intestines under cold running water. Cut them into manageable pieces, about 5-6 cm long.
Heat the coconut oil in a large pan over medium heat. Add the shallots, garlic, and ginger, and sauté until fragrant, about 3-4 minutes.
Stir in the bird's eye chilies and turmeric powder, cooking for another minute.
Add the chicken intestines to the pan and cook, stirring frequently, until they are no longer pink, about 5 minutes.
Pour in the coconut milk and stir gently to combine. Add the kaffir lime leaves and bruised lemongrass stalk.
Bring the mixture to a gentle simmer, then reduce the heat to low and cover. Cook for 20 minutes, stirring occasionally.
Add the green beans and carrots, season with salt and black pepper, and stir well. Cover and cook for an additional 10 minutes, or until the vegetables are tender.
Adjust seasoning if needed, remove the lemongrass stalk, and discard.
Garnish with fresh cilantro before serving. Enjoy your Whole30 Sayur Usus warm with a side of cauliflower rice or a light salad.
