RE: Thai Cuisine : A spicy curry stir-fry stink beans with minced pork 🌶️

in ASEAN HIVE COMMUNITY23 days ago

I LOVE "sadaw" beans. I had a sadaw tree in my yard when I lived in the jungle and it is really amazing how much work goes into getting them down. We had a guy that would come by with his trained monkey to get the beans and we would let the man and his monkey keep all the beans that he wanted and he would just give us some of them. It was a fair trade because I was never going to climb 20 meters off the ground to get the beans.

The smell of them really does stick with you though... you cannot brush your teeth enough to make the taste go away.

Some Sadaw trees are very large and tall, especially those growing on mountains. They have to climb up to harvest them, or sometimes monkeys are used to help. Sadaw beans’re delicious, but their smell is very strong!!! 😁
