Best Sai Ua
in Chiang Mai
Sai Ua is a spicy and herb-heavy pork sausage that reflects the soul of Northern Thai cooking. It is packed with lemongrass, kaffir lime leaves, galangal, and red curry paste before grilling. The sausage is cooked over charcoal to impart a distinct smoky flavor to the rich meat. It is usually served sliced into bite-sized pieces with fresh ginger, chilies, and peanuts. Expect to pay a small amount per link at any local market or Lanna restaurant.
