Stinky Bean is Stinky (Petai)

Why would anyone want to eat something often referred to as "stinky bean"? The stinky bean is commonly eaten in Indonesia and Malaysia. (Malay called it Petai). Some people do not eat stinky bean. But why? Is it the fact about their smell... Actually stinky bean is good for health. They contained vitamins and minerals. Ok this is a science challenge for you guys out there. I challenge you guys to eat the STINKY BEAN WITH SAMBAL!!! The recipe is down here:-

Stinky bean with dried anchovies (this is spicy)













Ingredients:-
Stinky beans (halved to ensure there is no big eyes monster in it)
Dried anchovies (head and bones remove)
Red Chili
Shallots
Quail Eggs (hard boiled and peel)
roasted chili paste
Assam water
Sugar

Method:-
1. Pound red chili, shallots followed by roasted chili paste. 
2. Heat oil and fry the peeled boiled eggs quickly until a thin crispy coating is formed  
   and remove.
3.Deep fry anchovies till brown and crispy. Set aside.
4.Remove excess oil leaving enough to fry the chili paste. Fry until 'oil splits'.
5. Add Stinky bean and fry some more. 
6. Add assam water and sugar to taste.
7. Lastly, combine fried quail eggs and anchovies and mix well until they are nicely coated  
   with the chili paste. Transfer to serving plate.
