Stir-fried winged bean and carrot
Have you ever seen a vegetable known as winged bean? Well, this vegetable is a type of vine that is usually classified as a type of legume by the people of my area. Growing fertile and having a lot of health benefits, this vegetable is loved by many Indonesian people in particular. This vegetable that I know comes from Papua New Guinea and I don't know for sure whether winged bean vegetables can also be found in other Asian countries. This vegetable itself has many health benefits for the consumer. One of them is to prevent diabetes and can also prevent inflammation.
The name of this vegetable is definitely different in every region, including in my area. In Aceh's own language, this vegetable is known as "Boh Reuteuk Ngom", this vegetable is usually processed into fresh vegetables or mixed with sauce sambal. So you need to know, this vegetable is only taken when it is young to be used as a vegetable, because if this vegetable is too old it will have a hard texture.
In accordance with the title above, this is the first time I have tasted this vegetable, as I remember when I was little my mother used to cook this vegetable. It's just that I wasn't a vegetable lover when I was little so I've never tried it though. I got these vegetables from my neighbor a few days ago, he planted winged bean in the back of his house. Because the winged bean grows well and is fertile he gave me a bag of winged bean. Immediately, I looked for the appropriate reference for processed vegetables on this one. And I didn't find a recipe that suited my taste, so I thought of combining winged bean with carrots. And I think it would be very different, because the carrot and winged bean would accentuate the sweetness and crunchiness of both.
