Delicious and famous bamboo tube stuffed snail dish in Thanh land

Mr. Bui Xuan Binh (born in 1987) is one of the people who process bamboo tube stuffed snails in Tan Phong town, Quang Xuong district, Thanh Hoa. Previously, Mr. Binh specialized in raising commercial snails. Realizing that selling snails like this would not bring high economic benefits , he came up with the idea of processing bamboo tube stuffed snails to supply to clean food stores.

The bamboo tube stuffed snail dish is elaborately prepared and can be steamed, grilled, or used in hot pot… so even though it has only been on the market for more than half a year, this dish has been ordered by many clean food stores.

First, the snails must be carefully selected. Then the snails are washed, boiled, and the snail mouths are peeled off and ground (not minced).

To create a unique aroma and flavor, in addition to snails as the main ingredient, other ingredients such as lemongrass, ginger, shallots, mushrooms, garlic, and chili are also added. Then, to make the snails sticky, there must be minced pork. After all the ingredients have been minced, they will be mixed together.

The final step is to prepare the bamboo tubes. Bamboo tubes are purchased in the highland districts of Thanh Hoa such as Lang Chanh, Cam Thuy, Ngoc Lac, Ba Thuoc... The fresh bamboo tubes will be washed and cut into small pieces.

In addition to the above ingredients, bamboo tubes are also a decisive factor in the deliciousness of the product.

According to Mr. Binh, the bamboo tube must be of the young type (meaning the bamboo tree is not too old, and not too young). When steamed or grilled, the young bamboo product will create a fragrant bamboo flavor. The lemongrass leaves inside the snail filling create a characteristic aroma.
