Babylonia, commonly known as "flower snail", "east snail", "sea pig snail" and "south snail", is a mollusk gastropod moth snail family, distributed in the eastern and southern coasts of China, Southeast Asia and Japan. The main species in China are Babylonia quadrata, Babylonia quadrata and Babylonia Taiwan Province.

Babylonia is considered as one of the most promising marine aquaculture varieties. In recent years, Babylonia has been accepted by farmers in the southeast coast and gradually formed a production scale. Its meat is delicious, crisp and refreshing, and it is a very popular high-quality marine shellfish in domestic and foreign markets in recent years.

Pretreatment and preparation of ingredients:

1, the smell of meat ingredients mainly comes from the residual blood in the meat. If you want to stew a perfect and delicious soup, you need to soak it in clear water for about 20 minutes in advance and rinse it off, so that most of the blood can be removed.

2. When cooking broth, it is generally necessary to blanch in advance, which is also a standard step for cooking meat ingredients. Blanching water can not only further precipitate the blood foam in the ingredients, but also clean the ingredients, making the stew more clear and tasteless. When blanching, you can add some ginger slices and cooking wine, and pay attention to the blood foam left on the ingredients to be washed clean.

3. Use a suitable cooker for stewing. Generally, it takes a long time to cook soup, and it needs to be stewed slowly, so that the heat can be smoothly transferred to all parts of the cooker. It is most appropriate to use a professional soup pot, casserole or waterproof soup stew, and it is not necessary to consider the problem of "adding water in the middle" for several hours, which is also a big taboo for soup stew. It is not recommended to stew soup in a wok at home.
