Neua Pad Prik (Thai Pepper Steak), Thailand

Popular in Central Thailand, home to the country’s capital, Bangkok, this regional dish is an intoxicating stir-fry of beef, herbs (shallots, garlic, basil), and a ton of red chili peppers, particularly the birds-eye (or Thai) chili pepper (chili padi). From the steamy streets of Bangkok to the coastal villages of Indonesia, the birds-eye pepper can be found swirling around in hot woks on a daily basis.
