Sambal Petai. Authentic Indonesian Traditional Fried Chili Paste with Stink Beans from East Java.

Sambal Petai is a traditional Indonesian fried chili paste with stink beans made by local native housewives and cooks from East Java.


Things to Know About Sambal Petai Recipe.

Indonesians are quite popular worldwide for their spicy cuisine. One type of condiment, in particular, stands out from the others. Sambal is a type of Indonesian chili sauce, usually consisting of chili peppers (Cabai Rawit/Bird’s Eye chili pepper), oils, and other regional ingredients. Sambal is arguably the most variational Indonesian traditional food in existence, with every region in Indonesia having its variant of Sambal.

Historically, the sambal was invented during the colonization of Indonesia, during which it was not as popular as it is today. The exact origin of sambal is unknown, but it was due to the Portuguese and Dutch bringing the plant to Indonesia (Dutch East Indies back then) that sambal started to grow and spread throughout the country.

This variant of sambal, the sambal petai is quite different from the other types of sambal, as it incorporates the unique stink beans, which have a strong odor (similar to that of a shiitake mushroom or cabbage, but stronger) into the dish.

This dish is not for everyone due to its unique smell, but once you get used to it, the taste is divine. The savoriness of the petai is a perfect match with the spiciness of the chili peppers.

For you adventurous folks, sambal petai is a must-try!
