a. Ingredient

 

  Snail: 500g

- Black pepper 1 teaspoon

 

- Spices: fish sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, sugar, ground pepper

 

 

 

 

Steamed snails with fragrant and spicy pepper are a rustic dish rich in country flavor.

 

Note how to choose fresh snails

 

- First, like other snails, the first thing to choose for fresh snails is to choose live snails. To know if a snail is alive is when we use our hands to touch and grind the snail and if it closes tightly, it means the snail is alive.

 

- In addition, live snails will only have a slight smell of mud and usually do not smell bad, but dead snails will have a very unpleasant smell.

 

- After buying the snails, put them in a basin of water and notice if the spiral part of the snail turns up and is quite light, then take those snails out.

 

- You should choose fat screws as well as screws that are ground close to the outside edge of the shell. Because snails that grind away from the edge are usually sick snails and are often not delicious.

 

b. Making

 

Step 1: Preliminary processing

 

- After buying, you should soak the snails for about 1-2 hours in a metal pot. If you don't have metal, you can put some metal tools in to soak together such as knives and forks. The reason we have to do that is because normally, when snails encounter metal, they will release all the dirty mud. obcfood

 

 

- The type of water we should use is rice water which will help us remove mud from snails faster. If we don't have rice water, we can cut chili into the soaking water instead. Additionally, you can soak the snails in a mixture of lemon, vinegar and chili to help the snails release all the dirty mud.

 

- Next, thinly slice the chili and lemongrass, and crush the pepper into small pieces.

 

- Mix a mixture of sugar, pepper, oyster sauce, fish sauce, sesame oil, and water and mix well to make the snail steaming water more flavorful.

 

Steamed snails with sweet and chewy snail meat absorb the aroma of pepper, eliminating the smell of mud, giving you a delicious dish.

 

Step 2: Steam snails

 

- Turn on the stove and put the mixture into the pot and cook over medium heat. Then we put the snails in the pot and mix well with the above mixture so that the snails can absorb the spices.

 

- Next, add the prepared lemongrass and chili to the pot above. Then continue to mix well then continue cooking for about 15 minutes until the snails will be cooked.
