I don’t know how many people crossed the river with their trouser legs rolled down to eat this dish when they were young. Anyway, I used to do this when I was young. At that time, there was a small river near my house and there were a lot of snails in the river. I often made appointments with my friends in the summer. Let’s go down to the river and touch the snails together. After a while, you can find a small pot full of it. Then you can take it home and soak it in water for a day. You have to change the water several times in the middle to let the snails spit out all the dirty things in the body and then take it again. Pick out the snail meat one by one with the needles, wash them, and let the mother fry them and eat them. A small pot looks quite a lot, and only the meat is left after the shell is removed. It is enough to fry a dish, and it must be fried together with homemade chili. Thinking about it now, I also have the potential to eat food. At that time, at a young age, I was able to sit on a small bench and pick up the snail meat with a needle for a long time in order to eat snail meat.
Now the river in my hometown has been dry for many years, and the children have no chance to go down to the river to touch the snails. Even if there is a river, grandparents and grandparents dare not let their children approach the river. Although many stalls in the summer night market sell fried snails, they are not made by themselves and never dare to eat them. Because it is very clear that this item must be cleaned carefully to be safe to eat, the stalls are still a little uneasy. I haven't seen any raw snails on the market, so I haven't eaten it again in the past few years. This time when my mother-in-law came from her hometown, she brought a pack of frozen snail meat. It was so rare that she quickly thaw and cleaned it. This method is not difficult, but it takes a bit of effort to wash, let's look at the detailed process!

Ingredients

Some Snail Meat
2 pieces Green Pepper
1 small root Carrot
Some Garlic
Some Shallot
Some Salt
Some Soy Sauce
Some Cooking Oil
Some White Wine

Stir-fried Escargot

1. The escargot meat is ready. My escargot meat is frozen and needs to be defrosted at room temperature in advance;

2. Put the snail meat in a small basin, put some water to moisten it, and then rub it with salt for a while, wash with clean water, and wash all the dirt on the snail meat. This step requires a little patience, one by one. wash;

3. The cleaned escargot meat is ready for use;

4. Boil water in a pot. After the water is boiled, pour the snail meat and cook for about 1 minute;

5. Remove the boiled escargot meat, rinse with warm water, and drain for later use;

6. The garlic is peeled, the green peppers are peeled, and the carrots are peeled; because my family can’t eat spicy, I chose green peppers that are not too spicy, with a lot of garlic. If you like spicy ones, you can put some dried red peppers or Replace the green peppers with spicy ones;

7. Cut the green peppers, carrots, and garlic separately; there is also a green onion, which is also cut into chopped green onions, forgot to take pictures;

8. Heat up a wok, add oil, add garlic slices, chopped green onion and fry until fragrant, then add carrots and stir fry;

9. Put the snail meat in, stir fry quickly on high heat;

10. Pour in the right amount of light soy sauce and a little white wine, continue to stir fry; you can also put cooking wine or rice wine, because my family does not have these two, so I poured some white wine in;

11. Add the cut green peppers, season with some salt, and continue to fry for a few more times.

12. This dish is ready to be fried. Turn off the heat, serve and serve.

13. I haven't eaten this dish for many years. Steaming a pot of rice makes this dish super delicious. Although the dish I stir-fried is not spicy, it tastes very good. Putting a lot of garlic can also stimulate the taste buds.

14. If you like the spicy flavor, you can add some dried red peppers.

Tips:
I need to remind here again that you must be patient when cleaning the snail meat. Although my family loves to eat this snail meat, there are also snails sold at food stalls in the summer, but we never dare to eat it outside because we make it at home. Everyone knows that this thing is actually quite dirty, the meat is small, it takes a lot of patience to clean it, and it also needs to wash off the intestines, silt, and everything on it, and it’s on a small stall outside. Once you make a big pot, who has the time to clean it so meticulously for you. So if you want to eat, you should buy some raw food and wash it slowly at home, so that you can rest assured when you eat! It’s delicious, and it’s acceptable to eat it once in a while, even if it’s a little troublesome.
