King Snail

　　Unlike river snails, field snails are characterized by their thin shells and thick meat. When stir-fried together in a wok with a fragrant herb called perilla, it creates an unusual flavor that is spicy yet sweet, with a hint of aroma. This unique taste is not only favored by people from southern China but also loved by those from the north, Hong Kong, Macau, as well as foreign friends. They often gather around small wooden tables to savor it with great relish. When cooking, seasonings such as chili, scallions or garlic, fermented black beans, salt, and others can be added to enhance the flavor.
