This kind of chili dish is rather dry and very thick. Use fresh chilies of any kind. Other kinds of edible insects or larvae can be used instead of mola crickets which will be called by the name of the insects used as the main ingredients such as wasp, grasshopper or bee larvae (namphrik to, namphrik taen and namphrik phueng respectively) (Siriphon Prongkham, personal communication, June 21, 2007)

3.	Roasted Shallots	3	0
4.	Roasted Garlic	5	Cloves
