Qinzhou Mud Worms

Qinzhou Mud Worms

　　Mud worms live in the coastal mudflats and resemble earthworms in shape. Their natural appearance is very dark, which is not very appealing visually. Therefore, when caught, they are often turned inside out — this helps to clean the mud from their insides and also improves their appearance. Mud worms are mainly used in soups (such as winter melon mud worm soup) and stir-fried dishes (such as mud worms stir-fried with chives or shredded radish).
