How to choose fresh and delicious frog meat
- Prioritize buying live frogs to enjoy the fresh taste.
- Choose frogs that are large, even-sized, with a brownish-yellow skin.
- For frogs that are pre-processed and packaged, buy from reputable and quality establishments.
- Avoid buying frozen frogs because frog meat loses its flavor gradually if left outside for too long, along with its inherent nutrients.

Prepare the ingredients
First, trim the roots and old leaves of the lemongrass, then wash it thoroughly and let it drain.
Remove the stems from the chili and wash them clean. Then, chop the lemongrass and chili finely.
For the frog, to eliminate the fishy smell, after buying, soak it in a mixture of 100ml water and 100ml white wine for 15 minutes, then rinse with cold water, drain and cut into bite-sized pieces.
How to clean frog meat, no fishy smell:
- Method 1: Use a mixture of white wine and crushed ginger to wash the frog, then rinse with clean water and let it drain.
- Method 2: Wash the frog with a mixture of white wine and coarse salt until the frog meat is no longer smelly, then rinse with clean water.
- Method 3: Blanch the frog briefly in a mixture of boiling water with wine, ginger, and turmeric powder, to help the frog meat firm up and eliminate the fishy smell optimally.
After cleaning the frog, proceed to marinate it with the chopped lemongrass and chili along with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1/2 teaspoon of seasoning powder, 1 teaspoon of sugar, and 1 teaspoon of seasoning. After that, marinate for about 1 hour for the frog meat to absorb the spices.
