Boiled frog

Method

1. 01

   Step 1

   Prepare all ingredients as shown in the picture: cut scallions into sections, slice ginger, mince some garlic, chop green onions, and marinate frog with cooking wine, pepper, ginger slices, green onions, and salt.

   

2. 02

   Step 2

   Heat oil in a pan, and once it's hot, add the seasonings in the order shown in the picture and stir-fry.

   

3. 03

   Step 3

   After stir-frying for a few minutes, add scallion segments and continue stir-frying. Stir-frying the base ingredients is crucial; be sure to stir-fry over low heat.

   Step 4

   The base ingredients are stir-fried until fragrant, about 10 minutes, then an appropriate amount of boiling water is poured in to simmer.

   Step 5

   Simmer the broth for about five minutes to bring out the flavor of the seasonings. You can judge the time yourself; there's no precise time to measure. Then add the loofah and cook until it's done. Remove the loofah and place it at the bottom of a bowl for later use.

   Step 6

   Next, put in the marinated frog and cook it over high heat (I'm saying it three times because it's important) until it's thoroughly cooked, about eight minutes.

   Then season it by adding appropriate amounts of salt and chicken bouillon powder (I usually don't use MSG).

   Step 8

   After seasoning, remove from heat and plate. Then, place chopped green onions and garlic on top (if you prefer a stronger spicy flavor, you can also add dried chili pepper pieces and Sichuan peppercorns).
