Ingredients
- 1 cup (250 ml) vegetable oil
- 100 g Lebanese eggplant, sliced into lengths
- 100 g snake beans, cut into 4 cm lengths
- 20 g dried prawns, soaked 1 hour and roughly chopped
- 100 g sambal (see Note)
- 1 red onion, finely chopped
- 100 g okra, sliced diagonally
- 100 g stink beans (petai) or wing beans
- Salt and sugar to taste
- 1 lime, juiced
- Cooked rice, to serve
Instructions
- Heat the oil in a large wok or frying pan, until smoking. Deep-fry the sliced eggplant, until golden, then use a slotted spoon to remove to a wire rack to drain off any excess oil.
- Deep-fry the snake beans until wrinkled, then remove them to the rack with the eggplant. Transfer 2 tbsp of the deep-frying oil to a second large wok or frying pan, allowing the deep-fryer to cool completely.
- Heat the oil in the second pan, then stir-fry the chopped rehydrated prawns for 1-2 minutes, or until fragrant. Stir through the sambal and stir-fry for a further 2 minutes, followed by the onion for a further 2-3 minutes, or until softened. Add the okra and petai (or wing beans) to the pan and stir-fry until tender. Add the deep-fried vegetables to the pan and toss well to coat, cooking for a further 2-3 minutes. Season with salt and sugar to taste, then stir through the lime juice.
- Transfer the Four Heavenly Kings to a serving plate and serve with hot rice.
Note
- Jarred sambal udang or sambal belacan are best to pair with this recipe.
