Grilled Sai ua

Sai ua (Thai: ไส้อั่ว, pronounced [sâj ʔùa]) is a grilled pork sausage from Northern Thailand and Northeastern Burma. In Thailand it is one of the typical foods of the northernmost Mae Hong Son, Chiang Mai and Chiang Rai Provinces[1] and it has become very popular in the rest of Thailand as well.[2] Its name in Thai comes from sai (intestine) and from ua (to stuff).[3] In Shan State this sausage is known as Sai long phik[4] and it is sometimes referred to as "Chiang Mai sausage" in English.

Sai ua contains minced pork meat, herbs, spices and kaeng khua red curry paste.[5] It is usually eaten grilled along with sticky rice and other dishes or served as a snack or starter. Traditionally Sai ua was a home-made sausage, but nowadays it is commercialized in some stores.[6]
