Prawn Petai Sambal

Plump, juicy prawns are cooked together with crunchy, slightly bitter petai (stink beans) in a fiery sambal base made from chilies, onions, garlic, and belacan (shrimp paste).

The prawns bring natural sweetness, while the petai adds a unique nutty aroma and bold taste that pairs beautifully with the spicy sambal.

The sauce is slowly fried until the oil rises, giving it a rich depth and glossy finish that coats every prawn and bean.

This beloved Malaysian favorite is best savored with hot steamed rice, where every spoonful bursts with spicy, smoky, and earthy flavors.
