The stink bean, or Sataw (สะตอ), is foraged from the jungle during the rainy season. Foragers climb tall trees to collect the long, twisted pods, showcasing a traditional and labor-intensive method of harvesting. This video, shot on location in Phuket, Thailand, documents the process from harvest to plate.
Pad Sataw (ผัดสะตอ) is typically stir-fried with prawns and garlic. The beans are noted for their high nutritional value, being rich in protein, vitamins, and minerals that aid digestion and reduce inflammation.
This dish is a true representation of Southern Thai culinary practices, often sold by street vendors throughout Phuket. Priced at 220 baht, it is both accessible and affordable, offering a unique blend of flavors that highlight the region’s food culture.
