Very nice, easy way to make ‘sambal boontjes’ as we call it. I will start with a 1/2 tablespoon sambal next time. Maybe it depends on the brand, but it was very spicy 🌶️

I didn't eat green beens in a while! It was delicious and really easy to make.

Omg this is so flavourful and yummi! I love Indonesian food and these beans are a new favourite.
