Method

  1. 1 Soak the snails for 3 hours, then boil them and extract the meat.
  2. 2 Separate the green peppercorns into individual seeds and crush half of them.
  3. 3 Sauté the garlic and lemongrass, then add the snails and stir-fry for 2 minutes.
  4. 4 Add the green peppercorns and stir-fry for 2 minutes; green peppercorns provide a fresh, aromatic spiciness that dried peppercorns cannot replace.
  5. 5 Season with fish sauce and sugar, stir-fry until the liquid evaporates, then sprinkle with chopped scallions.
