Sai Ua and Num Prik Noom


Thai Mixed Thai Style Sausage is great enough for welcome your friends, party time, or for serve with social drink...eat it as a snacks or appetizer.  All this sausage we server with Num Prik Noom ...see what we have for this recipe...

First Sai Ua is a Northern Thai-style sausage grilled over a smoky coconut husk fire. The word ua in the Northern dialect means to stuff:  Sai Ua therefore denotes a sausage that is strong together into a long coil. It is made of ground pork mixed thoroughly with Thai red chili paste.  

Second sausage is called “Sai grok I-san” or Thai pork sausage I-san style (from North-Eastern Thai) and the last one is called “Sai grok woon sen” or Vermicelli Sausage.  Give me a little bit time will show you the recipe of Vermicelli Sausage next...Today Iet’s I show you just Sai  Ua recipe.

  3. Mix by hand a glove. Do not knead, make sure the pork fat stays in shape.
  4. Tie one end of the pork casing with string then use a funnel to force the mixture into the casing. 
  5. Prevent air bubbles from forming, and do not over-stuff it. Tie the other end.

  8. Poke it before and during the cooking process, this will make sure that the sausage doesn't break while cooking.
