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.
