insect? Many people are afraid of hearing this word, and they will avoid it for fear, let alone eat it. But the coastal areas, especially in Xiamen, people regard it as a treasure. Speaking of this, many people probably know it, yes, it is a sandworm. Also known as "sea intestines" and "square star worms". They are especially like earthworms. In fact, if it's fresh sandworms, I don't even dare to look at them, but if they are dried, they don't look so shocking.
Sandworm meat is tender and delicious. Compared with sea cucumber, shark fin is better than that, and it is called "natural monosodium glutamate". It has certain medicinal value and has been used to treat kidney deficiency, impotence and other diseases. The effect of regular eating is quite good. Modern nutrition also believes that it can lower blood lipids and destroy the growth of cancer cells.
Locally in Xiamen, there are many ways to make sandworms, including stir-frying, boiling soup, porridge, salt and pepper, and deep-frying. Sandworms are dried in the sun and are basically used to make various soups. It is nutritious and delicious, and the soup is particularly delicious. There is no need to add any other seasonings except salt. The local tyrants directly microwaved the sandworms and served side dishes. I heard that it is very delicious.
I use dried sandworms and lean meat to make porridge for children. It can relieve asthma and has certain effects on children's coughing. Because it has a kidney-tonifying effect, if the child has more nocturnal urine, it can also be cooked for him.

Ingredients

10 pieces Dry Sandworm

Sandworm Lean Meat Congee

1. The sandworms are dried and the lean meat is ready.

2. Do not wash the sandworms, cut them into sections, heat up the pan with an appropriate amount of oil, and stir-fry until golden brown.

3. Soak the rice for 30 minutes, drain the water, add appropriate amount of salt and edible oil and mix well. Wash the lean meat and cut into shreds. Add some cooking wine and salt to mix well, and shred the ginger.

4. Boil the water in the casserole, and pour the rice and dried sandworms into the pot. Bring to a boil on high fire and slowly boil on low fire. About 30 minutes or so.

5. When the porridge is cooked, put the lean pork in. Stir it with a spoon. About ten minutes. The lean meat is cooked. Add the right amount of salt according to your taste. Sprinkle chopped green onions. Because dried sandworms already have an umami taste, there is basically no need to add chicken essence or anything.

Tips:
It's best not to wash the dried sandworms in water, just blow it with oil. The taste is greatly reduced after washing. The sand in the one I bought is very clean. If you buy a lot of sand, remember to take a good look when you cut it.
