Indonesian Sambal Prawn with Stinky Bean (Petai)

This dish is my old time favourite to be enjoyed with hot steam rice :) Sometimes instead of prawn I used deep fried boiled eggs ^^ My mom teach me how to make this and I improvised a bit according to my taste buds :)

Petai or Pete is a long flat plans that has edible beans along the plants. Some people said that the beans has some bitterness to it but to me I barely taste any bitter note when eating them. But the definite thing is that you mouth and pee with stink after consuming this! Pete plant looked like the pic below

Unfortunately in Australia I can't get the fresh ones so I have to buy the frozen one which taste so much different. The flavor is more over powering and really stinks for me!
