韭菜螺蛳肉 Stir Fried Leek with Snails

Pinyin: Jiǔ Cài Luó Sī Ròu

It's hard to recommend snails to anyone. There's too much American left in me, but honestly they aren't that bad. In reality they don't have a strong flavor to them. If you didn't know better you could mistake them for mushrooms.

Leeks are sort of strange to just eat as is. Like the snails they don't have a strong flavor about them, but they are a little stringy in nature.

So this is a basic dish, simply leeks and snails stir fried together in oil with a little ginger, salt, and maybe some garlic.
