Tips for choosing and preparing sea snails
- Choose sea snails that are shiny and unbroken, indicating they are fresh. Also, select snails with firm, lively meat, which shows they are still alive.
- To check if the sea snails are alive, you can smell them for any unpleasant odors. If there is no foul smell, the snails are still alive.
- Soak the snails in water with 3 chili peppers and a few stainless steel spoons to remove excess sand, then rinse thoroughly. Boil the snails with lemongrass and a little water for 7-10 minutes, then take them out and rinse clean.
