This Thai delicacy is a flavorful and crunchy snack that will tantalize your taste buds. In this article, we'll guide you through the process of preparing this dish, from the ingredients to the cooking techniques and serving tips.



Ingredients:

  • 6 frog legs
  • 3 tablespoons of crushed garlic
  • 3 tablespoons of pepper
  • 2 tablespoons of sauce
  • 1 teaspoon of sugar
  • 1 tablespoon of oyster sauce
  • 1 tablespoon of corn flour
  • Vegetable oil for frying
  • Coriander for sprinkling
  • Cucumber for serving
  • Chili sauce for serving


Cooking Time:

  • Clean the frog legs thoroughly, making sure to remove all the mucus.
  • Marinate the frog legs with the sauce, sugar, and oyster sauce, and refrigerate for 15-30 minutes.
  • Add the crushed garlic and pepper to the marinated frog legs and mix well. Add the cornstarch to the mixture and coat the legs evenly.
  • Heat the vegetable oil in a pan over low heat. Make sure to use enough oil to cover the frog legs. Fry the frog legs until they turn yellow and crispy. Remove them from the pan and let them cool.
  • Turn up the heat and fry the legs again until they are extra crispy. Remove them from the pan and let them cool.
  • Serve the fried frogs on a plate with coriander and cucumbers. Serve with chili sauce on the side.


Tips:

  • When choosing the frog meat, go for the legs as they have more meat and are easier to eat, similar to chicken wings.
  • Choose fresh and large frog meat for better taste.
  • Marinate the frog legs twice to allow the sauce to enter the meat and avoid garlic and pepper from sucking up the sauce.
  • Use new oil to flood the frog meat and avoid using old oil as it is not good for health and may affect the taste of the dish.
  • Fry the legs twice for extra crispiness, first with low heat and then with higher heat.


In conclusion, fried frogs with garlic and pepper is a unique and delicious dish that you can easily make at home. With the right ingredients, techniques, and serving tips, you can impress your guests and enjoy a tasty snack that will transport you to the heart of Thailand.
