Haw nueng kai requires chicken as the main ingredient to be mixed with the chili paste mixture and wrapped in banana leaves and then steamed to cook. (Rattana Phromphichai, 1999, p. 7521) Some recipes require stir frying the chicken and the chili paste together until a nice aroma is released before wrapping and steaming it.
