Thai Style Prawn & Petai (Bitter Beans)..


We used to have Thai Style Prawn & Petai at a Thai restaurant nearby our home and my Hubby just loves it! I wanted to imitate the dish by using selected ingredients. I'm aware they used a special sauce called Nam Prik Pao (Thai Chilli Paste) but I did not add that in my list.





Check out how I made this dish and received very good reviews from both my Hubby and son. It's quick and simple, trust me! We had it together with plain rice, Kailan Oyster Sauce and Tom Yum Fried Chicken (will post the recipe).

    1. Hi Anon, dried chilli paste is made of red dried chillies. The chillies are soaked in hot boiled water for 5 minutes and ground smooth using a grinder with little amount of water.
