    1. Technical key: The snail meat should be peeled and stir-fried now. The heat is slightly higher, the action is fast, and the stir-frying time is short. 2. Peeled snail meat is sold in vegetable markets or supermarkets. The snail meat and leeks are the best match, but I forgot to buy them that day, haha, so I let the spring onions make a temporary guest appearance. 3. Characteristics of the finished product: The snail meat is tender and delicious, with strong perilla aroma and moderate spiciness.
