This is a thick, dry chili dish and any kind of fresh chilies can be used. Wasps can be steamed or grilled in banana leaves. Baby bees (larvae) or other kinds of edible insects can be used so the taste will be slightly different and the names vary according to the ingredients, e.g. namphrik phueng for the kind with bee larvae.
