  Preparing the frog

  This grilled frog recipe will guide you to use frogs with their skin intact. However, if you want to remove the frog’s skin, you can follow these steps:

  Clean the frog thoroughly to remove all external dirt, then cut off the head and all four legs. Next, make a vertical cut along the top skin of the frog’s back and peel it off to both sides, down to the belly and legs. Doing this makes skinning easier.

  Next, use a knife to make a vertical cut under the frog’s belly and remove the internal organs. Be sure to remove the tendons and blood vessels on the frog’s thighs to avoid confusing them with types of parasite larvae. After that, rinse once more with clean water.

  Tip: Additionally, you can take note of the following methods to wash frogs without a fishy smell:

  • Use alcohol and ginger to wash to disinfect and eliminate the frog’s fishy smell.
  • Use vinegar and salt to wash, but it won’t be as effective as alcohol and ginger.

  Grilled Frog

  Use two bamboo sticks to secure and clamp the frog inside for grilling.

  For this grilled frog dish, you should grill it over charcoal for the best flavor.

  Place the frog on the charcoal grill for about 10 – 15 minutes, then flip it to ensure even cooking. Grill until the frog is golden and fragrant on both sides.

  Tip: If you don’t have bamboo sticks, you can also use a grill rack to grill the frog for the same amount of time
