Fried Escargot with Basil
1.
After buying the snails, put a few drops of edible oil and 2 grams of salt in the water so that the snails spit out more quickly. Change the water twice a day. When changing the water, rub the snails to wash off the sand. The mother-in-law said that soaking snails with rice water can also quickly spit mud and sand.
2.
After the escargot was soaked for 2 days, the mud and sand had almost been vomited. I cut off the tail of the snail with a vise. It is not recommended to use chicken bone scissors. After I finished cutting the 3 and a half catties of the snail, my hands still hurt after a few days. Continue to soak the cut snails with water to soak out the cubs of the snails.
3.
Prepare all the ingredients and servings. I bought the sachet in a bag, a bag of 20 grams, which contains star anise, bay leaf, pepper, nutmeg, ginger, yamana, angelica, and spices. I took a look, star anise and There are not many peppercorns, and 3 star anises and appropriate amount of peppercorns are added.
4.
Wash ginger, peel and cut half into granules, half into thin strips, peel garlic, half into granules, half into slices, and cut dried chili into small pieces.
5.
Wash the perilla and cut into small pieces. Wash the chives and cut out the white and chopped green onions. Don't cut them too small.

Add oil in a hot pan, add star anise and pepper, stir fragrantly, remove the pepper
7.
Add minced garlic, minced ginger, green onion and dried chilies to continue to stir up the aroma.
8.
Add chili sauce and stir-fry to get red oil. The chili sauce I used is quite spicy. If you can't eat it, you can use Pixian bean paste, which is mainly used for frying.
9.
Add the marinated bag and stir fry to create a fragrance
10.
Add escargots and stir fry over high heat. Be sure to use a deep iron pan. If you use a non-stick pan, it is easy to scratch the coating, and the cost of eating snails seems a bit high.
11.
Stir-fry the snails for a few minutes, add soy sauce, garlic slices and ginger shreds, and continue to stir-fry with rock sugar. It is easier to stir-fry in a deep iron pan.
12.
Add water that has almost no snails, and let the snails boil slowly for 30 minutes, so that it is delicious and can thoroughly cook the snails. If the soup is boiled out halfway, you can add a little more water
13.
The escargot is cooked until the lid falls off, leaving a little soup, you can taste the taste, adjust it flexibly according to the taste, add the chopped green onion and perilla if the taste is right
14.
Stir all the ingredients evenly and you can get out of the pan
15.
Stir-fried escargot with basil is a little sweet in the fragrance and fresh in the spicy flavor. Fried snails of 3 jin and a half are not enough to eat. Friends with good vital capacity can directly eat the snails. Elderly and children can use toothpicks to pick out the snails. eat. When eating, the intestines and cubs of snails are not recommended to eat, they will affect the taste
Tips:
1. The snails are kept in water for 2 days, and most of the sediment can be removed by draining oil and salt
2. The snails must be thoroughly cooked before they can be eaten
