Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 Use pliers to cut off the tail end of the stone snail and clean it. It is best to keep the snails bought from the market for a day, changing the water several times in between to allow the snails to clear their intestines and stomach and get rid of the muddy smell.

   

2. 2 Prepare ingredients. Wash the mint, smash the garlic, shred the ginger, and chop the pepper.

   

3. 3 Heat oil in a pan, add garlic, ginger and chili and stir-fry until fragrant.

   

4. 4 Put the snails into the pot and stir-fry.

   

5. 5 Add soy sauce, sugar, fermented bean curd and other seasonings, and stir-fry for a while.

   

6. 6 Add enough water, then add the mint to the pot (I usually add half of the mint first, and then add the rest when the salt is almost out of the pot), stir-fry evenly, cover the pot and simmer for a few minutes. Add salt when it's almost out of the pot (I'm used to adding salt when cooking).

   

7. 7 Remove from the pan. Pay attention to the amount of soup when taking it out of the pot. It is generally better to just see the soup after loading it on the plate, because this way the snails will not be too dry and you can enjoy this delicious dish with the flavor of the soup.
