Thread: Pad Sator - Stink Beans To Some

One of my favorite Thai dishes is Pad Sator.






Sator are known sometimes as stink beans and to many it is an acquired taste.

Cooked with minced shrimps and minced pork and lightly spiced it has an outstanding flavor




They seem to be in season and have made the way up from Southern Thailand where they are grown and most commonly eaten.

seen here in the pod form , these bad boys are around a meter in length







My wife also cooked a dish of Pad Gai Galee , Chicken in Yellow Indian Curry for you laymen out there ( speaking of laymen I'm sure someone can point out the slang meaning of Galee).





Rice was served being it has become such a commodity we try to ration it and let the toothless kids enjoy it sparingly.







So the old stink bean was enjoyed and hope you all have had the pleasure of trying some yourselves.

They're quite popular in my household, though it's not uncommon for us just to peel then and eat them like nuts. Nice with minced pork too.

feckin stinky horrid things, the wife is always eating them..yuk

Probably the rankest food-related product in Thailand. Each to their own

can't stand the smell.. men mak mak... just like durian
