Conch can be steamed, boiled and fried. Steamed conch tastes delicious, has high nutritional value and is not easy to lose nutrition. The disadvantage is that steaming conch easily hardens conch meat, which seriously affects freshness and taste. Stir-fried conch generally uses some small conch, or big conch whose snail meat is picked out. After frying with a proper amount of pepper, it tastes spicy and chewy.

I think the best way to eat conch is to eat it, so someone has to ask: should conch be cooked in cold water or boiled water? The following Xiaofeng will share the practice of our seaside people cooking conch:

1. Put the conch in seawater for about 2 hours. If there is no seawater, you can also soak it in cold water with a little sesame oil or salt for about 2 hours to let it spit out sediment, and then scrub the shell of the conch with a brush.

2. Add a proper amount of water to the pot until the amount of water does not exceed that of the conch, then add a little salt and ginger (salt can improve the taste and ginger can remove the fishy smell), then don't cook, put cold water in the clean conch, and then drop a few drops of sesame oil or balsamic vinegar after boiling, so that the snail meat will be particularly easy to pick out after cooking.

The cooking time of conch depends on the size of conch, because conch meat is wrapped in shells, and we can't observe its maturity at all. So how long is the appropriate cooking time for conch? Generally, it takes about 10~ 15 minutes for big conch to boil, and about 3~5 minutes for small conch to boil. Conch cooking time is very important, the time is short, and the meat is too tender and unhealthy. If it takes too long, the snail meat will be hard and easily broken.

3. After the conch is cooked, add a proper amount of balsamic vinegar to the fresh ginger juice and dip it in, which is especially delicious. Conch is cold, not only delicious, but also just neutralizes the coldness of conch.

Boil conch with cold water or hot water? I didn't pay attention to it before. No wonder the snail meat smells fishy, hard and not delicious. When cooking conch, be sure to cook it with cold water, because if the water is boiled and then put into conch, the conch will suddenly come into contact with hot steam, and the snail meat will shrink to the tail of conch quickly, which will make the cooked conch hard and difficult to pick out.

Wordy:

1. When eating conch, remove the yellow things at the end of conch. It is the internal organs of conch, mainly the intestines of conch, and it is the excretory part of conch. Eating too much cholesterol in this place is not good for your health. You'd better get rid of it when you eat it.

2. Conch gall is located in the green area on the back of conch. This part will be bitter if it is not removed.

3. In the conch head, there are two things commonly known as "conch brain", like two small spherical things. Eating too much will make you dizzy and nauseous, so you must remove it when eating.
