What it is
Plump prawns cooked in a vibrant and fiery chili sauce, generously combined with pungent petai (stink beans). This dish is celebrated for its bold and complex flavors derived from a chili-heavy `bumbu` (spice paste), garlic, and shallots, all harmonized with the distinctive aroma and texture of petai.
Key ingredients
Prawns, petai (stink beans), red chilies, shallots, garlic, ginger, lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, cooking oil, salt, pepper, a touch of lime juice.
Optional tweaks
Request no added sugar or sweet soy sauce (kecap manis) in the sauce. While petai has some carbs, it's typically used in moderation for flavor, making the dish keto-friendly if other carbs are omitted.
