Third, the wood frog stewed tofu.
This is the most economical way to eat wood frogs. Being both forest frogs, the prices of male and female forest frogs are quite different. If you want to taste the umami, but you don't like the fact that the female wood frog is too expensive, you can choose the male wood frog as the second best and stew it with tofu, which is also delicious.
Method 1:
Put the live forest frog in a net bag and put it in a pot, then pour boiling hot water on the forest frog and burn it alive.
Cut open the belly of the wood frog with scissors and take out the internal organs for later use.
Cut tofu into pieces for later use.
Stir-fry onion and ginger, add water, add wood frog, tofu and various seasonings after the water boils, cover the pot and continue to stew.
Wood frogs don't need to be cooked for long. After a long time, the meat is not tender.
Method 2: Almost no one adopts it now.
Put tofu and live wood frog in cold water. As the water temperature rises, the wood frog will cling to the tofu block and will not let go.
Even the wood frog and tofu are eaten together when eating.
When I was a child, there were still a few people who ate like this. Nobody eats like this anymore. Everyone thinks this method is unhealthy.
4. Braised China Rana chensinensis
It is the most expensive way to eat wood frogs.
"Braised Rana chensinensis" is usually a plump female Rana chensinensis with seeds. Because there is an expensive "forest frog oil" in the belly of the female forest frog, its price has always been very expensive, and the price of several hundred yuan a catty is comparable to that of seafood.
The production method is different from that of male forest frog. Female forest frogs also need to be scalded to death with boiling water in advance, but they can't cut open their internal organs. She wants to keep the forest frog intact to prevent the precious forest frog oil from melting during cooking.
When eating, use chopsticks to peel off the belly and internal organs of China Rana chensinensis. The staple food is Rana chensinensis oil and Rana chensinensis eggs, especially Rana chensinensis oil, which is fragrant and glutinous, not greasy at all, and the delicacy is directly proportional to the price. You shouldn't miss this dish in Jilin.
