Although snail powder is a famous snack in Liuzhou, people all over the country like it. They even buy some bagged snail powder and cook it at home. So, how to cook the snail powder in bags? How long does it take to cook the snail powder before eating.
How to cook snail powder in bags
Generally, there are two cooking methods on the package of snail powder. The first method is to soak the powder with water first, then cook it after it is softened. It takes a long time and is not suitable for lazy children's shoes. The second is to put it into the water and make it soft. I recommend the second way to save time. For a lazy person like me, every time I eat, I am hungry in the middle of the night, hoping to save time. The method is as follows: first put the powder into the pot and add water to boil for 8 to 10 minutes until the powder can be broken with chopsticks, then filter the dry water and put it into a bowl for standby. Put 500 ml clean water into the pot again, add the soup, sour bamboo shoots (sour bamboo shoots are local specialties, which smell smelly and taste delicious. If you are not used to eating, you can not put them), agaric bags and sour cabbage bags until boiling. Finally, pay attention to the preparation of the pot Yuzhu and peanuts will be put in later to make sure the taste is crisp. The third part adds chili oil and vinegar according to personal taste.
In fact, if you want to save more time, you don't need to change the water for the second time, but the soup will be turbid, and it doesn't look so good.
How to make snail powder delicious
First of all, we need to prepare rice noodles. It's not the kind of rice noodles in the northern market. We have to use dry cut rice noodles. There are two kinds of round rice noodles unique to Liuzhou. One is cut rice noodles, and the other is the freshly pressed round bar 'thread noodles', which is characterized by its side dish snail meat. Different from the rice noodles, the cross-section diameter of dry cut rice noodles is about 3 mm. Soak it in water for more than an hour before cooking.
Snail powder is made of aged rice. The longer it is, the better. The rice that has been put for a long time has lost its oiliness and gum. After being processed into rice powder, it tastes elastic. When cooking, it's the opposite of Guilin rice noodles. Before cooking, Guilin rice noodles should be soaked in hot water, while snail noodles should be soaked in cold water. Otherwise, the rice noodles will break and have no elasticity, so it's very important to master this. When some diners eat snail powder, they will complain: "why is there no snail meat?" in fact, authentic snail powder does not contain snail meat.
Secondly, prepare the soup material, that is, snail soup. There is no snail in the real snail powder, and the taste of rice flour comes from snail soup. You can use the snail meat or the small snail meat in the river. The taste is almost the same. First of all, if you want the snails to live, soak them in clean water for 2 days. Then put a piece of iron into the water to promote the snails to spit mud. At the same time, it can inhibit the schistosome parasitized in the snails that northerners fear. Only in this way can the snails be fresh and sweet. The snail sucks clean, takes out, cuts off the snail tail with the iron inlay, generally in that easy to gather the silt, simultaneously also facilitates the snail ripe time to suck.
Drain the snail water, boil the oil, pat the garlic, ginger, garlic, red pepper, perilla, stir fry to taste (try to add more of these ingredients) into the snail, stir fry, add salt, chicken essence, oyster sauce, cooking wine, until 4 minutes cooked, add water, simmer for more than 2 hours. The key to soup is the ingredients added when adding water. Every family has its own secret recipe. A good recipe for soup needs to be bought. After the soup is ready, it is slowly stewed on the stove.
The characteristic of soup is that the oil should be enough, the pepper should be hot enough, and the red pepper oil should be seen on the soup. Snail powder is delicious because it has a unique soup, which is made of 13 kinds of natural spices such as snail meat, Sannai, star anise, clove, and monosodium glutamate and sucrose. There is a strict proportion of 13 kinds of spices.
A bowl of good snail powder, good ingredients are indispensable. Sour bamboo shoots should not be too sour, dried radish should not be too sweet, and Yuzhu and peanuts should be fried just right. Here are the side dishes: 1. Fried Yuzhu 2. Sour beans 3. Fried agaric and famous Sour Bamboo Shoots 4. Fried peanuts 5. Cut small dried radish 4. Pickled cabbage, which is called sauerkraut in the north. When you have these things ready, you can start making snail powder.

Next, boil the soaked rice noodles, take them out and press them on the dishes, then add the side dishes, and finally pour them into the snail soup.
Liuzhou snail powder where the best to eat
Liuzhou snail powder, originated in Liuzhou famous snack market, Qingyun night market. It is said that the first snail powder stall in Liuzhou was the lame man snail powder, which was once adjacent to Lin Jie's dumplings and at the corner of Qingyun vegetable market. However, many years ago, the last time I ate snail powder at that stall was in the afternoon when I saw that ingredients similar to chestnut shell were picked up from the bottom of snail soup pot, and I never ate it at that stall again. However, old Qingyun's snail powder is often patronized when he was young. My favorite is a bowl of flour and fried eggs. The fried eggs are crispy, and the yolk is still liquid. It's very delicious & hellip; & hellip; now, time goes by, looking back on the past is no longer. It's hard to find the familiar taste of the snail.
