Malaysian Sambal Stink Beans (Sambal Petai) Recipe
Ingredients:

2 tablespoons vegetable oil
3 shallots, finely chopped
3 cloves garlic, minced
2 red chilies, finely chopped
2 tablespoons dried shrimp, soaked in warm water for 10 minutes and drained
optional)
2 tablespoons tamarind pulp, soaked in 1/4 cup warm water, strained, and
juice extracted
1 tablespoon palm sugar or brown sugar
Salt to taste
For the Sambal Paste:
5-6 dried red chilies, soaked in warm water for 15-20 minutes, drained, and
deseeded
3 fresh red chilies, chopped
2 cloves garlic
1-inch piece of galangal or ginger, chopped
1 lemongrass stalk, white part only, chopped
1 teaspoon shrimp paste (belacan)
1 tablespoon vegetable oil
Instructions:
1. If using fresh stink beans, wash them thoroughly and remove any tough ends.
If using frozen beans, thaw them completely.
2. Prepare the sambal paste: In a blender or food processor, blend together
the soaked dried red chilies, fresh red chilies, garlic, galangal or ginger,
lemongrass, shrimp paste, and vegetable oil until you get a smooth paste.
3. Heat vegetable oil in a wok or a large frying pan over medium heat. Add the
chopped shallots and minced garlic, and sauté until fragrant, about 2 minutes.
4. Add the blended sambal paste to the pan and stir-fry for another 3-4
minutes until the paste darkens slightly and becomes aromatic.
5. Add the chopped red chilies and dried shrimp (if using) to the pan, and
continue stir-frying for another 2 minutes.
6. Add the tamarind juice and palm sugar (or brown sugar) to the pan, and
season with salt to taste. Stir well to combine all the ingredients.
7. Add the stink beans to the pan and toss them with the sambal mixture until
they are evenly coated.
8. Reduce the heat to low, cover the pan, and let the stink beans simmer for
about 5-7 minutes, or until they are tender but still slightly crunchy.
9. Once the stink beans are cooked to your liking, remove the pan from heat.
10. Serve the sambal stink beans hot with steamed rice or as part of a larger
Malaysian meal.
