"Two hours? Then we can exercise a bit after eating." Han Qiwu rolled his shoulders and walked into the kitchen to check the de-sanding progress of the river snails.
Since the quality of the river snails was quite high, after just one or two short hours, they had already expelled most of the sand.
Ready to go into the wok now.
Han Qiwu placed the snails to the side, grabbed a pair of scissors, and snipped off the tails of the snails one by one. Then, he prepared some additional ingredients.
He was planning to make spicy stir-fried river snails.
With the addition of green Sichuan peppercorns, fresh coriander, and pepper leaves, the dish had an incredibly tantalizing aroma even before it left the wok. The rich, savory scent could be smelled from a distance.
After finishing that, he pulled out a freshly caught river fish he had reeled in earlier and quickly prepared it for steaming later.
The balance of flavors had to be just right.
