If you are looking something that goes really well with steamed rice, then I will suggest you to try this Sambal Petai Special. Why? First, look at the picture below – the Sambal Petai Special >>>

What are you thinking? How about one big bowl of hot steamed rice? Yup, just the picture alone can make one mouthwatering, imagine its tangy gastronomic aroma… one more bowl streamed rice please!

I have introduced Sambal Petai Recipe in my previous post, the way of making this Sambal Petai Special is similar with the method used in Sambal Petai, what makes the difference is I am going to add long bean into this dish.

Long Bean, is another famous vegetable in Southeast Asia, it is also known as asparagus bean or snake bean. Long Bean is not any expensive vegetable, however its nutrition is super rich. They are a good source of protein, vitamin A, thiamin, riboflavin, iron, phosphorus, and potassium, and a very good source for vitamin C, folate, magnesium and manganese.Â Therefore, don’t look down on this “common” bean!

Long Bean - nutrition rich

As I have mentioned the nutritions of stink bean in Petai bean post, I am not going to repeat it here. Or in short, Petai Bean is a high nutritious food too, it is good to our body.
