Stir Fried Stink Bean ผัดสะตอ

I know, stink bean is not exactly a glamourous name for these precious beans, but I can assure you, they are one of the best ingredients on the planet.

Also known as petai bean or bitter bean is a common southern Thai food. I like to eat them stir fried with shrimp or pork, roasted with nam prik, or just straight up raw directly from the pod.

I could eat sataw everyday for the rest of my life and be overjoyed.
