Goong Sator Pad Gapi is a Southern Thailand food recipe. 🙂 We serve it with hot jasmine rice. Especially with sator (Fava beans), it has a really good taste.
Note from Vern
This is another of my favorites. Pretty much anything with sator beans – is my favorite. Everyone at the restaurants we often go to know that I love it and tell us when they have it in stock. It isn’t all the time,it’s whenever they can find it. They often buy it just for me! If you get a chance to try it, do so. It’s a very flavorful and aromatic bean – some don’t like it, but I think it’s the best bean ever.
Sator (Parkia speciosa) is not even remotely similar to fava beans (Vicia faba).
I don’t know… that’s what we called them because my pocket translator gave me that as an option. If it’s wrong it will change a lot of recipes here! What is the common name in English for Parkia speciosa?
