Story

This dish brings the bold, spicy flavors of the countryside to your table. Fresh river snails are cleaned thoroughly before being flash-fried with a punchy mix of aromatics and vegetables.

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

1

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.

2

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.
