Non Pai (shown on this page already fried and seasoned) Non means worm in Thai and Pai means bamboo. This is a bamboo worm insect and one we found to be the most tasty. It's delicious and anyone who likes Cheetos would enjoy. A nice hint of corn, slightly fibrous. Our 2 year old son couldn't stop eating them on a recent trip to Thailand. Known as "Rot Duan" in the local scene, which means "Fast Train". Fry the non pai in a wok briefly, remove, add a light spray of Golden Mountain sauce and add Thai pepper powder. Eat as a snack alone, or with beer. They are 1.5" long. See all feature Thai insects at this link. If you don't find street vendors selling fried insects, for sure you can always find them at Temple Fairs held by each temple about once a year. These fairs offer not only a glimpse into the real heart of Thai culture but also provide a certain venue for you find tasty fried insects for sale. See more in our series of Thai street vendors, and authentic Thai recipes. |
