Spicy Snail

This Spicy Stir-Fried Snails with Pixian Bean Paste is a bold and flavorful dish that brings together fresh snails and aromatic ingredients for a truly unforgettable meal. Perfectly cleaned snails are stir-fried with ginger, garlic, scallions, green peppers, and fiery small chili peppers for a kick of heat. The star of the dish is Pixian fermented bean paste, adding a deep, umami-rich savoriness that enhances the natural sweetness of the snails. A splash of cooking wine and a pinch of sugar balance the flavors, while a quick stewing step ensures every bite is infused with spicy, fragrant goodness. Ideal for adventurous eaters, this dish is best enjoyed when the sauce thickens, clinging to the tender snails for maximum flavor. Serve hot for a mouthwatering experience that’s both aromatic and satisfying!

Step 1
The vendor will remove the tail of the snail and wash the shell. Since the snails are clean in this season, if you buy them in summer, you should soak them in light salt water with a little sesame oil for a day and a night, until they spit out the residual material, and then cook them. Now I have cleaned and prepared them for stir-frying.
