Speaking of snails, I remembered that in the small pond in front of my house, the edges of the stones would be covered with snails. When I was a child, I liked to pick up the snails and throw them to the shore. As expected, I was young and ignorant. How did I know that it was food? I picked it up and played with it or threw it around. There were a lot of snails in the rice fields at home. Later, after my dad fried the snails, I realized that It’s edible, and every time I got hungry, my dad would take me to the rice fields to pick up snails for me to eat. Now that I’m out and about, I can’t always eat the dishes my dad cooks. If I want to eat snails, I can only eat them by myself. Take action.

In addition, do you know what therapeutic effects eating snails will bring to us?

1. The meat of snails is rich in vitamin A, protein, iron and calcium that are beneficial to the human body. It can also cause congestion of the conjunctiva and increase the concentration of bilirubin in the serum due to disorders of bilirubin metabolism. Jaundice caused by high blood pressure, athlete's foot caused by fungal infection, and hemorrhoids caused by inflammation all have dietary therapeutic effects.

2. In addition, eating snails also has a significant effect in treating body odor. (So ??those with body odor can eat snails, haha)

Although eating snails will bring us a lot of therapeutic effects, we are also afraid of the parasites hidden in the snails, which makes it very difficult for us. , If you want to eat it, you are afraid of parasites. If you don’t eat it, you won’t be able to achieve the therapeutic effect mentioned above (mainly due to greed).

As we all know, field snails generally grow in ponds, just like rice fields. If the water quality in ponds and paddy fields is not good, then field snails will be easily contaminated, especially fruit. If the feces in the snail shell are not cleared, there will be many parasites. So if we want to eat snails, we can do it at home, which is both clean and delicious. The main thing is to be reassured.

The snails we buy from the market are kept at home in barreled water for two days (the water is changed once a day), so that the snails can drain their excrement cleanly.

Then we can boil water in a pot, add a few pieces of ginger, put the snails in and cook until the lids of the snails fall off, then take them out and put them in cold water to cool; Note: You can do this through this To tell the freshness of snails, the lid of live snails will fall off after boiling, while the lid of dead snails will be tightly covered.

Then we can use toothpicks to pick out the snail meat one by one and put it into a bowl; note: the snail meat at this time cannot be cooked directly because there is still sediment in the snail meat at this time. For sundries, you need to soak them in salt water for half an hour and then scrub them with your hands several times. Repeat the scrubbing with salt water two or three times. The snail meat washed out in this way is clean.

Now you can prepare the rest of the ingredients: sour beans, ginger, garlic, red pepper, and appropriate amount of cooking wine (rice wine).

We first cut the pickles into small pieces, shred the ginger, slice the garlic, and slice the red pepper. Heat the cooking oil in the pot, then add the washed snail meat. The fire dries up the moisture in the snail meat. Then add an appropriate amount of salt and cooking wine (rice wine) and stir-fry for a few minutes, remove from the pot and place in a bowl for later use. Add oil to the pot, add ginger, garlic and chili and stir-fry for 5 to 10 seconds. Add pickles and stir-fry for half a minute. Then add the snail meat, add an appropriate amount of light soy sauce, salt and cooking wine, then add a little water and boil to reduce the juice, then serve.

You don’t have to worry about parasites anymore when you make snail meat in this way. You can eat it with confidence. It is sour, spicy and chewy. It tastes particularly fragrant and goes well with rice.
