Ingredients

Live river snails 500g

Ginger 1 slice, sliced

Garlic 3 cloves, smashed

Green bell pepper 1, cut into strips

Red bell pepper 1, cut into strips

Dried red chilies 4-5, to taste

Soy sauce 2 tbsp

Cooking oil 3 tbsp

Salt to taste

Instructions

Prepare the Snails

Submerge the live river snails in clean water for a few hours to allow them to expel sand. Scrub the shells thoroughly under running water to remove any debris.

Prep Aromatics and Vegetables

Slice the ginger into strips and smash the garlic cloves. Cut the green and red bell peppers into even strips for quick cooking.

Stir-Fry

Heat a wok over high heat and add the oil. Toss in the ginger, garlic, and dried chilies until fragrant. Add the snails and stir-fry vigorously for 2 minutes. Mix in the bell peppers, soy sauce, and salt. Continue stir-frying until the peppers are tender-crisp and the snails are cooked through.
