Step 2, put the snails washed with clean water into a clean pool or other containers such as pots and pans. According to the weight ratio of salt to snail 1: 100, evenly sprinkle salt on the snail, and slowly stir the snail until it shakes in the basket. At this time, when the snail software encounters the stimulation of salt, it will retract its head and feet into the shell, and then sieve the salt with a sieve.
At this time, the contracted snails can be put into the pot and cooked, and the snail meat rolled into a ball and in a neat shape can be obtained. Another shrinking process is to soak the fresh snails in a salt pond with a concentration of 10% for 3-5 minutes, add a cup of vinegar (the ratio of salt to vinegar is 5: L) to the salt water, and then slowly stir to make the impurities and mucus in the snails reach the water surface to remove floating objects. Because snails are stimulated by salt and coolness, they will immediately withdraw their tentacles and roll back into their shells.
After soaking, the shrinking snail can be fished out, washed with clear water (quickly, so as to avoid the snail stretching its head again after the salt on the snail shell is washed away), and then it can be treated in time.
Put clean water into the pot to boil (the weight ratio of snail to water is 1: 3), and quickly push the shriveled snail washed with cold water into the boiling water pot. According to the size of the snail and the intensity of heat, the fixing time is generally 10- 15 minutes. If the time is too long, the snail meat will age and lose its crispness; if the time is too short, it will be difficult to completely pick out the snail meat. Rinse with clear water after taking out, and finish fixing.
Snails cooked in boiling water are curled up in their shells. In order to preserve the integrity of snail shells, snail meat can be gently extracted with needles and hooks, cut off with scissors, and head, feet and fat can be taken; Discard the shell and internal organs. In the process of eating meat, if it is found that some snails have no mucus on their heads, it is that snails are sick or dead. They should be picked out and thrown away, not eaten.
Put the selected snail meat into clean boiled water, then add appropriate amount of cork, pepper, ginger, garlic, onion and other ingredients (all ingredients should be tied tightly with gauze bags) and cook for 20 minutes. The snail meat after fishing should be washed with running water. This can not only clean up the sundries, but also avoid the accumulation of heat and fermentation, corruption and deterioration of raw meat. In order to keep snail meat fresh.
