Gai Muang Nung Kreung Gaeng Nua, Steamed Chicken Chiang Mai

Gai Muang Nung Kreung Gaeng Nua, Steamed Chicken Chiang Mai

In English you could call this "chicken in northern style chile paste". The Chiang Mai (northern Thai) chile paste has mild flavor (not spicy), made with turmeric, using local Thai chicken which are tasty and chewy. For best results, use the finest quality chicken you can find. We used organic free-range chicken breasts cut up into large chunks, with excellent results.

Traditionally, to prepare northern style steamed chicken, the chicken cavity would be stuffed with the chile paste. This recipe is prepared using the traditional turmeric chile paste but cooked a different way. Inspired by a chef focused on recipes of the old Chiang Mai culture.
