I just had an Indonesian dish that I've never come across before- sambal petai korned.
It's a stir fried mix of:
tinned corned beef
petai (called "sator" in Thailand, called "stinky beans" by me)
standard Indonesian sambal (tomato, chillies, shallots,garlic, belacan, oil)
kecap manis to taste
served on white rice with slices of tomato on the side with a sprig of Indonesian basil (kemangi).
Sensational!
It was cooked by someone Ambonese- modern everyday cooking ,sign of the times cooking, I think, making do with what is is readily available and cheap.
But as I said, very tasty!
(and yes, best not to kiss after petai!)
eat some cucumber before you talk to anyone after eating petai. Never heard of that dish though -- sure it wasn't someone's improvisation?
Your corned beef in the petai,sambal balacan,chilli oil,garlic,shallots makes it an even more upscale dish compared to the usual pounded salty dried shrimps or anchovy widely served in many local households in SE Asia.
Love petai fried with all the above ingridents,including galanga,lemon grass,kaffir lime leaves.
Now if you can persuade the person you intend to kiss to have durians for dessert after the petai dish you won't even notice the petai "aroma"!
