Sambal Petai

My first time cooking sambal petai. The main ingredients are PETAI, haha, and of cos, sambal.. You can also add other things, like prawns, or sotong, whichever you like. As for me, i do not have prawns or sotong, therefore i decided to make use of the vegetable ball that i bought in malacca.

this is the best vegetable balls among all
those that i've tried. If you see this, make sure you buy
1 packet and try, u will definitely love it!!
i bought at malacca, a small shop @
bukit baru, RM10 per packet.
don't think u able to get this price
at anywhere else.

i used around 10 veg. balls.
wash and cut into slices.

this is actually mushroom slice, fried.
crispy, but don't eat too much. hehe..
i normally add a bit when i cook mee/meehun soup.
not sure how much per packet, my aunt gave it to me.
decided to use some for my sambal petai.
oh ya, it's vegetarian food..

mushroom slice.
about 2-3 tablespoon.

1 big onion, cut into slices.

and lastly, petai.
remember it's better to cut the petai into half,
as sometimes there's worms inside petai
and you won't be able to notice by looking at it.
soak in ice water (about 5 - 10 minutes). why?
the ice will keep the petai crunchy after cooked.
ok, let's start cooking..

saute onion..

toss in the veg. balls & petai.
saute...
add a little bit of sugar.

add in 2-3 tablespoon of sambal.
the sambal i used is quite salty, therefore
i did not add any salt.
saute..
add 2 tablespoon of water.

add in the mushroom slice.
saute..

ready to be served!
