Rice Paddy Crab | Somsaa | Red Curry Paste | Sticky Rice

This popular dish is originated from the local dish, made from the fat of Sing Buri wild rice paddy crabs mixed with Thai herbs before putting back in the crab’s shell and grilled. The crab is served with grilled wraps of coconut milk-scented sticky rice wrapped in banana leaf. The dip is light yet flavourful and delectable.
