Simple Stir-Fried Petai with Eggplant

What is Petai? Petai is stink bean or twisted cluster bean which had pungent odor but have special healthy function. It is usually cooked with strong flavour food like garlic or sambal. In this recipe, I used fried crispy soy bean or soy bean paste with chilli. You can use vegetarian sambal chilli, if desired. To neutralize the pungent odor, eggplant or brinjal is the answer to it!
