Crickets (Jing Reed) : จิ้งหรีด

Crickets or Jing Reed are a delicacy in the Northeast of Thailand. They are very close to grasshoppers, and indeed, even look like them, but they taste very different. These fried insects are crunchy and have a unique taste like a popcorn and nut.

Silkworms (Nhon Mhai): หนอนไม้

These fried insects is a popular snack for locals. Silkworms come from a range of families, but they are all from the butterflies. They have a soft shell that is crispy after frying it. The taste is a bit like tofu but creamy and has a taste of herbs because they are usually fried with kaffir leaves. Silkworms are perfect to eat with soy sauce and pepper.

And more to mention In the video are frogs, shrimps and crabs.

How they cook insects?
Before frying, all insects must be washed thoroughly about 3 times to remove the smell. Then they are left to drain.

Frying insects is like frying something else. Just heat the pan to the medium heat and then add vegetable oil. When the oil is boiling, put the insects into the pan to fry till the they are crispy and golden yellow.
