Much love from NE India. Here in Manipur, we call it yongchaak ( which literally translates into Monkey Rice). It's a highly savoured delicacy here, eaten in the form of salad(singju), potato and stink bean chutney (iromba), sometimes fried with fish head, gills, innards (maringkha) and a lot more dishes. It is so much in high demand that often they are imported from Burma at the border town of Moreh. Unlike other SE Asian nations where only the seeds are savoured, here in Manipur we scrap off the outer green skin with a special tool called Yongkhot (looks like a tongue cleaner) and savour the hypodermis along with the seeds. Consuming too many seeds often results in stomach aches, but every Manipuri will swear by this delectable fortune. Much love from Manipur 😊

Zawngtah tui ti ve zawng lo like ru.. Any Mizo😁

Zawngtrah tui ti ve zawng..like..

Hit likes from Manipur, India 😊. We love it too. Thank you Mark.

It is also famous in Manipur(north-eastern part of India) we call it “Yongchak” in Manipuri dialogue...

We mizo eat the whole bean we just scrap off the green part my fav during winter haha

Mark was born to live this way! He's so appreciative of each morsel. Infectious positivity & radiance! I love this channel!😊

During stink bean seasons....bathrooms smells awful lol

Not only in 🇹🇭 thailand. In INDIA north east state MANIPUR are eating stink beans

Northeast india favourite food

Mark you've travelled through out the world and explore many food cuisine and recipe from different places. You even enjoyed our Indian food and thanks for that. But did you ever notice that stink beans is one of the most highly valued side dish in north east India especially in Mizoram that even at the rate of high cost, nothing can stop us from buying it. And so do the climbing wattles (khanghu) and that numbling plant (Amella oleracea/Ankasa) you tried at Amazon, Brazil and many more.. By the way our cusine is simple pure and natural yet unique.. This is why I always love your channel. Bless you

We called it "yongchak" In manipuri... ❤from North East India🇮🇳

In northeast india, We used to eat all of it including the seedless part when it was younger! Of course pilling off the green cover.

In mizo we call it zawngtah and the prise so hight cause we all want one, if you like zawngtah i think you will love khanghu and bekang

The happiest person I have ever seen...even if the lion bite off his leg, he will still be smiling lol

I really really love stinky beans.. Here in Manipur we peel off the green outer cover only then boil it in hot water for a minute or two and then mixed it with roasted fermented fish and hot chilli.

Here, in Manipur one of the North Eastern state of India; we have the Perkia roxburghii variety.

Dat happiness on Mark's face-1. Embracing with Stink beans hanging from tree...2.d moment wn she put lot f chillies by her own🤩🤩

The buds, flowers and the beans cluster all are beautiful. The more Thailand locations Mark is visiting I am leaning more and more towards visiting Thailand and eating all vegetarian foods everywhere.

One of the Most expensive and most addictive vegetable in Manipur....india Omg just peel the skin out and .... U can eat the rest....raw or cook...see manipur or naga recipe...just love them... Mouth watering👍

Hey Mark Weins. Actually Petai can be eaten with the skin. Just scrapped out the green skin a bit. Then you cut it just as you like. Cook it with prawns or Anchovy Sambal Its delicious and healthy for us.

This series means so much to me. I have wanted to travel to Thailand for so long and being vegetarian I thought I'd have to miss out on a lot of the food. Mark you have given me so much to look forward to!!

My mom's favourite 😂 by the way I came to know it's name only now 'stink beans' Nagaland enjoys it too

As someone who loves stink beans I keep coming to re-watch this, I will try this recipe soon when the season comes and I'm at home. I'm from Nagaland and here we call it yongchak 🤤

"you can put your face in it." that's the best line I have ever herd from Mark

Saw stink beans with mark in the thumbnail and already knew how excited he’s going to be even before watching 😝

You guys wasted so many part.. Watching you guys taking only the beans hurt my feeling so bad 😂😂 Eimi enkha omleh hiai ah😂

I remember when I was little, I went to my grandfather's land where there's petai trees. I'd come back home with sacks of petai, my mom would peel it and put it on Tupperware so we can cook it later. The tiny green worms were all over the floor 😂 Sweet memories

it's available in nagas land. we peel thin layer of out part and have both beans and outer layer. taste great and lots of health benefits

12:36 first time i've seen Mark flinch on something spicy. You know the chili's might be the spiciest ever

It's so great to see how the plants grow, completely fascinating.

This is the favorite dish Manipuris love to die for. "Yonkchak Iromba" the most satisfying item for all Meiteis.

Wow that saute of pounded homemade spice paste with the floral characters of coriander and cumin seeds is so exotic.... even your rice is cooked to point !!! Love this Mark... im going to plant a stinkbean tree in our backyard!!!!

When I visited Thailand 🇹🇭 I saw stink beans I’m so jealous of stink beans😜 In Manipur we call Yongchak Yummy 😋

Thanks, Mark! It’s the first time I see the stink bean trees. Very educational. Stink bean is one of my favorite food as well.

Mark, this Stinky Beans is also abundantly found in the North East Indian State of Manipur and it's one of the fav food of Manipur, Mizoram & Nagaland. You should come and visit in this part of the world 😋😋😋

That petai dish is to die for. Man, I miss eating the stuff especially on a Friday night when I'm contemplating what to cook for dinner here in the cold U.S. Your in-laws have a beautiful place.

You must try Sambal Petai Belacan / terasi / Fermented Shrimp Paste , is so delicious. It is Rice stealer.

How do you look after the stink bean tree being able to harvest at such a low height in our place we need to climb the tree

u can eat even its cover..thats have to level.. level 1 is 1st cover the green one and 2nd one is when take out the green one thats can also eat.. not only beans😄😄all the stink beans lover👍👍👍

Yein is the real MVP not to many would put their life in danger by not holding on just to get that shot for her husband lol good job sweetie

Stink beans sautéed with shrimp and sambal belachan is irresistible.

Mat salleh kalau dah pekena sambal belacan, petai, tempoyak sampai bila pun buat mereka ketagih, ada yg dah tak mau balik negara asal, hebat makanan asia,, asia tenggara ni.

We used to clean the skin with a special handmade instrument and eat it whole not only the seed but all. This is total waste 😂😂😂 its so expensive that we treat it like gold.

How sweet when Yein Hold the shirt of Micah and Camera 😂👍

Good morning from Texas! Love you so much Mark, you're my favorite traveler/eater! You're so awesome and I love your personality! You make me so happy to watch your videos!!!

Mark has totally made me want to try these stink beans. Like, how do they really taste that he goes nuts over these beans? Looks so delishhh!

"Yongchak" In Manipur, northeast India

The one who eat knows the taste.. in your every video whenever you eat that particular vegi, you seems so excited and satisfied and that makes me wanna eat that vegetable too.😋 🤤

in my place, manipur we remove the cover by scratching using a tounge cleaner like device called 'yongkhot'

It's one of our favourites. We are enjoying this now as the season has just come. Likes from Manipur 👍👍👍🤤🤤 🗣️💨👃🏻😷

After eating this don't fart infront of others otherwise the smells will kill someone 😂😂😂

many Malays surely like to eat the raw stink beans in a form of an appetiser called "ulam" alongside with the spicy sambal. the petais are also commonly used in other homecooked spicy dishes like the prawns and anchovies cooked in spicy red sambal not only to give a pungent flavour but also some vibrant colours to these dishes. i have to tell you that its real pungency comes from the fart right after eating the petais but it's worth the aroma for those who like it!

I really want to eat stink beans now. They look delicious!

I’m obsessed with petai. I could eat unlimited servings of it.

waoh...i have never seen them flowering...thanks for showing us.. its absolutely one of my favourite vegetables too...

I love your videos!!

In Northeast India, we do eat by making salad and it is called "Wakerek" in tripuri language 😄

Thanks so much Mark it's alwasys a pleasure watching your vlogs

All the Manipuris are like YONGCHAAAK!!!! After having savoured the stink beans with much delight, wait for it to prove its name in the bathroom the following day 😆.

Yongchak.. yongchak.. season time.. I love this beans.a lot..

We eat this in our small State of Manipur which is in the North easten part of India and we call it "Yongchak".

Pure inspiration! Thanks!

We call them "Zawngt(r)ah" here in Mizoram (India)

If Mark calls something spicy, then its a trip to the hospital for most of us.

I really love the way you eat lots of chili 🌶️ in your food, I enjoy watching your videos here in Philippines.

Best with fermented fish.. Yummy.. ALL THE STINKY FOOD ARE TASTY

We Mizo, north eastern part of India, in the state of Mizoram, we call it Zawngtah... We mixed with fermented big fat with lot off chilies, fermented soyabean, and mixes with vegetables...we love it...

I lived in Malaysia for 9 years, not once did I want to try it. It had a very strong odor. Maybe I should have! 😊

We Manipuris call it yongchak. It hurts me when you guys wasted the cover. We eat the cover along with the seeds after scraping off the green layer. We use yongchak in different type of dishes. But my personal fav is Yongchak singju.

So good to see you enjoy all the different culture food. So BLESSED.🙇

Hi Mark! We all gain weight during lockdown, but you didn't, are you alright?

"wow the chilli is starting to bulld" - Mark not even breaking a sweat. What even

"THIS TABLE FULL OF STINK BEANS IS THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING IN THE WORLD" 😅💚😂✅👍 you rock Mark! love it!

We usually cook with grinded dried chilli and anchovies. It's usually a very heaty vegetable if I'm not mistaken same as durian. So usually we will always have something cooling to drink like barley water for example.

So cool to see them growing on the trees, didn’t know that before. 👍

In mexico theres smaller ones we call them guaje.its cook with pork ribs & chilly sauce 😋

Looking so yummy ,mouth watering ☺ my favorite food ☺

I love stink bean. We call it petai here in Singapore. And the fact that it's a local tree just makes me love the local nature for it's ecstatic beauty even in the dimensions of flavour

Great, passionate video Mark! Setor (as Thais call it) is my numero uno favourite food in the world as well. In Singapore and Malaysia, we call it Petai. Never get tired of eating stinky beans. Keep going Mark👍

Let me give u the best recipe to cook the petai. This dish tastes paradise. The amount of followin ingredients is up to u. 1. It must be Petai 2. Salted squid ( to make it less unsalted, soak the salted squid with hot water for about 10-20 minutes) 3. Big red chili and big green chili 4. Small chili ( the taste is hotter than the big), u know what i mean 5. Shallot and garlic 6. Galangal 7. Bayleaf n citronella grass 8. Kaffer lemon leaf 9. Salt, for sure I am sure u know how to cook, u better fry the squid first. If u dont like the salted squid, or if there is no, u can use the fresh squid. Hope u'll cook n make the video of it.

Stink beans, one of our favourite,we called 'Zawngtah' from North East India'Mizoram'.

Zawngṭah hi chu i duh ve ngawt mai, a tui a ni tiraw. Mark👍👍👍👍

You either love it or hate it..I love it so much, like to eat it raw too. Our favorite recipe is with fried anchovies and cili padi. Simple but heavenly delicious!

Hi Mark! One of your favs! I hope I can dry them. In in queens ny. Will head to flushing to find some someday 😀🙆‍♀️

Petai is just amazing. The smellier the better. The smelliest I've ever tried comes from Indonesia! Best thing is over the next few days you get reminded of eating it when you go to the toilet.

This is one of my favourite as well. Awesome!

Here in Malaysia we call it petai too..love it! Love watching his pleasant face

Love the vegan content mark!! stink beans were one of my favourite foods when I visited Thailand, I especially liked it to buy them from a fresh market in the pod, and eat them raw with vegan nam prik I would buy from a JAE restaurant, it was a flavour explosion 😄😭 definitely one of the best foods in the world

Mark used to always warn about stink bean worms but in all his videos he's never found one. 😂

Stink beans is just my most favorite too. My appetite just increases when I see it.

Mark favorite Stinky beans👍it’s actually a lots of good benefit petai wonderful videos

That looks so so delicious 😋

This fruits is very amazing, it looks healthy

It's yongchak in Manipur. You can eat raw with Singju😋, or with Eromba, fish curry n many more

Here in Mizoram , we called it as 'Zawngtah'

Hai mark 🙏🙏🙏🙏♥️♥️♥️♥️from kerala🇮🇳🇮🇳🇮🇳

I can eat petai, rice and chilli, everyday , for the rest of my life... Heaven without petai it so wrong

OMG petai!! I’m drooling 🤤! The chilies tho 🌶🌶🌶 😲

My favourite food petai sambal. I had been eating this dish from a very young age. Still cant get enough of it. In fact everyone in my family love it. If you have a variety of good food on the table together with petai all of us dash for the petai. Fruit wise no need to say it's always durian.
