Ingredients :

1. Petai ( seeds of Parkia speciosa )

3. Belacan ( shrimp paste )

In a hot kuali ( crock ) with oil, tumis ( stirfry ) the minced mixture of chili, garlic, onion and belacan till the nice aroma can be smelled few house away. 

Then, add in the petai and udang kering Sarawak.  Cook till the neighbors can  smell the mouth-watering aroma.
