TAHU UDANG PETAI

:::In the name of ALLAH, The Most Gracious, Most Merciful:::

~PATIENCE IS VITAL~




I love this dish. I have this twice in a month in October. Can you believe that? I am not really feeling well right now after the operation and I have been wanting to eat PETAI [stink beans ] so much. And I don't know how else to cook stink beans except by frying it this way.

I found stink beans sold in tins at an oriental shop in Glenn Waverly.
Take a train to Glenn Waverley and walk towards Gloria Jeans (GJ). The oriental shop is a few blocks a way from GJ.

Okay, here's the recipe. Have a try if you love spicy food. And don't worry, the stink beans are literally stinky but they are great for your health. They have loads of medicinal values.
