Ingredients

  • 1.5 lb sea snails
  • ½ cup peanuts
  • 3 tbsp chili oil
  • 4 cloves garlic
  • 1 medium onion
  • 2 tbsp soy sauce
  • 1 tbsp vegetable oil

Instructions

  1. 1

    Rinse the 1.5 lb sea snails under cold water and drain well. Pat dry with paper towels.

  2. 2

    Heat 1 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet or wok over high heat. Add the snails in a single layer and stir-fry until they start to sizzle, about 2 minutes.

  3. 3

    Add the 1 sliced onion and 4 minced garlic cloves. Stir-fry until the onion softens and the garlic is fragrant, about 2 minutes.

  4. 4

    Stir in 3 tbsp chili oil and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Cook, tossing constantly, until the snails are coated and heated through, about 3 minutes.

  5. 5

    Add 0.5 cup peanuts and toss to combine. Cook for 1 minute more, then remove from heat. Serve hot.
