Chef's Selected Petai 200g

Parkia speciosa (petai, Indonesia: pete, Manipuri:Yongchak Thai: สะตอ (sataw, sator, sadtor, sa-dtor), English: bitter bean, twisted cluster bean or stink bean) is a plant of the genus Parkia in the family Fabaceae. It bears long, flat edible beans with bright green seeds the size and shape of plump almonds which have a rather peculiar smell, similar to (but stronger than) that of the Shiitake mushroom, characterised by some as being similar to natural gas.

It is known as petai, pete in Indonesia, Malaysia and Singapore. They are best when combined with other strongly flavoured foods such as garlic, chili peppers, dried shrimp or shrimp paste, as in sambal petai.
