Method
- 1 Soak the snails in rice water and a few slices of chili for 30 minutes to remove all the mud, then rinse them several times.
- 2 Cut off the tail end of the snail with scissors so that it's easier to suck out the meat when eating.
- 3 Sauté minced lemongrass, garlic, and chili peppers until fragrant, then add the snails and stir-fry over high heat for 5 minutes.
- 4 Pour in the coconut milk, season with fish sauce and sugar, and simmer over medium heat for 12 minutes until the coconut milk thickens and coats the snail shells.
- 5 Sprinkle with herbs, stir well, then scoop into a bowl and serve hot.
