How to make stir-fried frog with pickled shallots

• 1

  Prepare the ingredients

  After buying the frogs, remove the internal organs, peel off the skin (or keep the skin if preferred). Wash the frogs thoroughly, then cut them into bite-sized pieces.

  Pickled shallots and green onions, discard the damaged leaves and old leaves, and remove the roots. Wash them thoroughly and let them drain separately. Then cut the green onions into sections, and crush the shallots.

  Peel the garlic and red onion, then chop them finely.

  How to clean frogs properly and without fishy smell

  Step 1: Cut off the head, skin, internal organs, backbone, tendons, and blood vessels on the frog’s thighs.

  Step 2: Wash the frogs in two ways:

  • Method 1: Use alcohol and ginger to wash the frogs to kill bacteria and eliminate the fishy smell of the frogs.
  • Method 2: Use vinegar and salt to wash the frogs, which has a similar effect as Method 1 but is less effective.

  Step 3: Blanch the frog meat in a mixture of alcohol, ginger, and turmeric powder.

  Next, add the marinated frog into the pan, stir-fry on high heat for about 2 minutes. Then add about 5 tablespoons of water, stir-fry on medium heat for 5 minutes.
