Prepare the frog and other ingredients
Prepare and remove some parts of the frog
Clean the frog thoroughly and remove the frog’s skin.
Remove the spine of the frog: the spine of the frog contains many anesthetic substances, which can affect health when consumed.
Remove all the intestines of the frog: this is where a lot of dirt is contained, so it should be removed to avoid infection from parasites and bacteria.
Remove the tendons on the frog’s thighs: Some types of parasitic larvae live on frogs, and some are very dangerous, so when preparing, be careful to remove all tendons to ensure health.
Wash the frog
After preparing, cut the frog into bite-sized pieces and then wash thoroughly.
Soak the frog in ginger wine (can be replaced with vinegar or salt water) for 20 minutes to eliminate the fishy smell and disinfect the frog meat.
Prepare other ingredients:
Shallots and garlic, peeled and minced.
Remove the stem from 1 chili and mince it.
-
Marinate the frog with spices
Put the frog into a bowl and marinate with 5 tablespoons of fish sauce, 2 teaspoons of sugar, 1 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate, 1 teaspoon of ground pepper, minced chili, and minced shallots. Mix well and marinate for 20 minutes for the frog meat to absorb the spices evenly.

Frog Stew
Place the pot on the stove, add all the minced garlic and sauté with 50ml of cooking oil.
When the garlic is golden, add the frogs and 1 teaspoon of seasoning sauce, and stew on low heat. Cook until the frog meat is firm and has a golden-brown color, then add chopped green onions and turn off the heat.

Final Product
The frog stew after completion has a distinctive aroma from the frogs, the meat is chewy, sweet, and has an attractive color. This savory dish pairs best with rice. When serving, you can garnish with whole chili peppers to make the dish more appealing.
How to choose good frogs:
- How to choose wild frogs:
– When buying frogs, choose wild frogs that have bright eyes, a slender head, and strong legs. Pay attention to selecting those with a white or slightly yellow belly, and frogs with yellow or black spots. They should be large and fat.
– When purchasing, opt for live frogs; do not buy frozen frogs, as frozen frogs often have bland meat and lack the distinctive aroma when cooked.
– Wild frogs are best around September. This is when frogs accumulate fat and nutrients in preparation for hibernation, so consider buying frogs at this time.
- How to choose farmed frogs:
– Farmed frogs are usually dark brown or black, have a large head, and move sluggishly. Although they have more meat, the taste of farmed frogs is not as good as that of wild frogs.
