The grass grows and the warbler flies, and the river is fresh and fat
Diners who "know the scriptures" know it
It's the perfect time again!
After a winter of "self-cultivation and recuperation",
The snails are all plump and tender,
Stir-fry briefly in the pot,
It's a plate of delicious fried snails,
Between a suck and a suck,
It's like you've tasted the freshness of spring.
On April 11,
The reporter came to Yangpuguo and the vegetable market and found that
The supply of snails at the fish stalls
Although it is lower than before the Qingming Dynasty,
But also keep it in 3-4 large pots, about 40 pounds.
The stall owner was busy washing and picking snails on the side.
From time to time, customers stop to inquire about purchase.
It is understood that these snails are produced in Taihu Lake,
By head size,
The price per catty ranges from 12-15 yuan,
It is much more affordable than before the Qingming Festival.
It is worth mentioning that
In the past few days, the stall has increased the supply of snail meat,
The price is 5 yuan / tael.
Introduction of the stall owner,
The most common way to eat it is fried snail meat with leeks,
The leek has a strong flavor and can bring out the fresh aroma of snail meat.
Recently, there are often "Ma sisters-in-law" to inquire about snail meat,
I want to buy fried leeks at home and eat them.
"Snail meat with fresh leeks,
Add ginger, minced garlic, chili pepper and other stir-fried,
It is spicy, salty and fresh, and it is very popular.
Probably buy 2-3 taels of snail meat,
It's enough to fry a pot, and it's worth eating!"
Snails are not only "fresh", but also nutritious.
Contains per 100 grams of snail meat
7.5 grams of protein, 156 mg of calcium,
Rich in amino acids.
In addition, there are phosphorus, magnesium, selenium, iron, potassium, copper, etc
Minerals required by the human body.
What should I do with the snails after I buy them?
Wash off the sediment on the shell first,
Then put it in clean water for at least half a day,
The amount of water is at least twice the amount of snails,
A few more drops of sesame oil can speed up the spitting out of the sediment.
And then there's the critical step.
"cut their butts" to them,
After that, wash with water and put it in a basin for later use.
Doing so will remove it completely
Sediment impurities in the snail
It can be burned more thoroughly and added to the flavor,
It's also more convenient to eat,
You can eat snail meat with a gentle "swipe".
While enjoying the delicious food,
Many people are also worried about the safety of snails.
To eat more hygienic and healthier,
First of all, for snails of unknown origin
Try not to buy or eat.
There is a kind of "Fushou snail" dressed in a "snail shell",
The appearance is extremely deceptive,
In fact, there are a lot of parasites in the body,
The public must pay attention to discernment when purchasing.
Secondly, choose fresh snails,
The shell of the fresh snail is shiny and cyan,
The darker the color, the older the meat.
It is recommended to choose a medium-sized, evenly sized one,
This ensures a consistent level of ripeness during cooking.
When cooking snails,
Be sure to cook thoroughly and cook thoroughly before eating,
Otherwise, there may not be a way to kill the parasite.
There is a risk of contracting parasitic diseases after consumption.
Cooking methods such as stir-frying usually take a short time.
It is recommended to blanch it with boiling water before frying.
It can not only reduce the risk of parasite infection,
It will not affect the taste of the snail meat.
It's a good time to be spring
Buy some snails and go home
Take a bite of it
