How to choose fresh ingredients
How to choose fresh, quality apple snails
- A tip to identify live apple snails is to touch the part of its shell; if they immediately retract inside and the shell closes tightly, that is a fresh, live snail.
- Choose snails with plenty of meat, where the shell is close to the outer edge, exposing some meat inside, the shell is not chipped, and when held, it has a natural scent.
- Avoid choosing dead snails that have a strong, foul smell, with the shell pulled deep inside, that feel very light when held, and float on the water’s surface. These snails, when eaten, will have an unpleasant smell, are not tasty, and can easily cause poisoning.
- For prepared apple snails, you should choose freshly made ones, with a characteristic aroma, without any fishy or slimy smell.

Prepare the ingredients

Ways to help live snails expel sand quickly
- Method 1: Use rice washing water instead of a mixture of water and chili. Soak the snails in rice washing water for 2 hours, then rinse them clean.
- Method 2: Use about 1 cup of vinegar mixed with water to soak the snails for 1 hour.
- Method 3: Soak the snails in water mixed with diluted lemon and salt for about 1 hour, which is also an effective method.
- Method 4: Boil the snails for about 5 minutes to partially cook them, then take them out, drain, and proceed to separate the snail meat, then wash it clean with water again.
