  • Step 2: Use a mixture of white wine and ginger to wash the frogs for about 5 minutes.
  • Step 3: Blanch the frog meat briefly in a mixture of water, wine, ginger, and turmeric powder to completely eliminate the fishy smell.

  Next, add all the chopped onion and garlic into the pan, sautéing over medium heat for about 1 minute until the onion and garlic are fragrant, then pour in all the prepared sauce and cook over medium heat for another minute until the sauce boils.
