I-huak refers to baby frogs in the early stage. Tadpoles can be used in aep, namphrik and kaeng no mai dong (pickled bamboo soup). The method for making aep i-huak is similar to that of other kinds of aep in which the mixture is cooked by grilling on a low fire until done. (Rattana Phromphichai, 1999, p. 8111; Amphon Moliphan, personal communication, June 26, 2007)

1. Pound together all the ingredients for shrimp paste to a fine paste.
2. Wash tadpoles very clean and mix into the chili paste.
3. Add finely sliced ginger leaves
4. Place 2-3 tbsp. of the mixture on 2 layers (8 wide) banana leaves.
5. Fold both ends and secure with toothpicks
6. Grill on a low fire
7. Constantly turn for 3045 minutes until the leaves turn brown and become crisp.

Clean the inside of the tadpoles rubbing some ashes on the hand will make it easier to press the waste out of the intestine of the tadpoles.
