Today to go to the market to buy vegetables, through the fish and shrimp stalls, see that there are a lot of large, small snails next to it, and then ask the price, the boss said that the small snails are cheap, 2 yuan a pound! It is indeed too affordable, I didn't think about it, we weighed 2 pounds. Usually we rarely eat this, so let's change the taste!
Snails are delicious, fragrant meat, and nutritious, rich in protein, fat, carbohydrates, inorganic salts and trace elements necessary for the human body, so it is favored by many foodies. But as we all know, because snails are water bushes that grow in paddy fields or ponds, they mainly eat some plankton, moss or rotten food, so snails have moss and stains, parasites, which is what everyone is most worried about.
Well, how to clean the snail is a crucial step. The snail has moss on its body, with a strong fishy smell, which is very difficult to wash. Because its shell contains a lot of sediment. If you want to eat delicious snail meat, the cleaning of the snail is very important, if the cleaning is not clean, it will directly affect the taste of this dish.
I put the snail in a basin and rinsed it 2 times to wash away the impurities. Then pour in the rice water, add salt, put it on the shelf for one day, and eat it the next day. Some people will drop some sesame oil in the water to soak, so that the snail automatically spits out the mud and sand, very clean!
Snail is a delicious snack, cooking methods can be fried snails, sauce fried snails, spicy screws, or made into a variety of snail soup dishes, each is so flavorful, especially in the summer food stalls, spicy fried snails are essential. Today I will use snail meat, capers, konjac tofu to pair, fried a self-created private dish!
【 Capers fried snails 】
Ingredients: snail meat, konjac tofu, capers, sour chili peppers, perilla, ginger, garlic
method:
Step 1: Rinse the snails that have been raised for a day and use a toothpick to pick out the meat inside. Bring water to a boil and blanch the meat again. It's a lot of work here, because the flesh is connected to the shell and has to be torn off.
Step 2: Bring the pot on high heat, sauté the capers cut into small pieces, then add ginger slices, minced garlic, perilla and chili peppers to continue sautéing.
Step 3: After smelling the spicy and sour flavor, pour the snail meat into the quick sauté and sauté, then add konjac tofu.
Step 4: Add a little water and simmer for 2 minutes, add salt, chicken essence and soy sauce to taste.
Step 5: Sprinkle a handful of chives at the end, stir-fry evenly, wow, don't be too fragrant, smell all drooling.
Out of the pot plate, a sour, spicy, fragrant, salty caper fried konjac tofu, snail can be eaten, I only used a bowl of snail meat, after blanching water, now fry, it seems to become much smaller, can not see the snail meat, hahaha! But it was still delicious and very appetizing!
