STIR FRY WINGED BEANS WITH CHICKEN LIVER / TUMIS KACANG BOTOL DENGAN HATI AYAM / TUMIS KECIPIR HATI AYAM



The Winged bean (Psophocarpus tetragonolobus), also known as the Goa bean and Asparagus Pea and Winged Pea, is a tropical legume plant native to New Guinea. Here in Malaysia these beans are known as "Kacang Botol" or Four Angle Beans. These beans are normally eaten raw with sambal or perfect as an "ulam" or "kerabu" which is the local salad.

Winged beans are typically low in fat, contain no cholesterol, and are high in folate, potassium, iron and magnesium. They also contain beneficial fats and soluble and insoluble fiber. A good source of protein and can be a healthy substitute for meat, which has more fat and cholesterol.

Kacang botol, kacang kelisa atau kecipir dalam bahasa Indonesia...biasany sedap dibuat ulam atau kerabu. Tetapi kepada yang tidak pandai makan secara mentah atau ulam, bolehlah digoreng. Selalunya yang menjadi favourite ialah Goreng Belacan, malah di restuarant-restuarant Cina banyak menyediakan menu ini. Sedap dicampur dengan petai dan kacang panjang.

Kali ini kebetulan ada lebihan hati ayam saya buat tumis biasa dengan menggunakan hirisan bawang besar dan cili merah. Cukup simple tapi cukup menyelerakan. Kacang ini banyak khasiatnya dan digalakkan makan selalu.
