As we known, frogs eat pest, so they are the farmers' good friend. Because of my hometown is in the south part of China, therefore, there are a lot of paddy field and plenty of frogs. So frog meat is a normal dish in most of restaurants. For many people, they feel sick when eating frogs, but in my hometown, it will be a palatable dish in a meal.
Normally, people prefer to eat the legs of frogs, because their heads are too small and do not have too much meat, on the other hand, they always jump, and most meat of the legs are tender. Some people like to eat with the skin, but some people not. In many restaurants, when people order this dish, there are only legs, however, if people cook at home, they will keep the body and take the head out of the frogs. Frog is rich in protein, carbohydrates, water and a small amount of fat, and it tastes more tenderer than chicken and more tasty.
Usually, people use some of cooking method to cook the frog meat, such as steam, stir-fry, and hot-pot. If steam the flog meat, people prefer to use dried lotus leaf to wrap the frogs meat with jujube, so the frog meat can absorb the incense of lotus leaf and the sweetness of the jujube. Moreover, about the stir-fry frog meat, cooks will stir-fry it with green pepper and garlic, which taste a little spice and awesome. Also, when in the hot-pot, it will be cook fast and tasty and refreshing.I bought frog meat in supper market in Canada, which was frozen. Then I stir-fried it after thawing it, but it didn't taste good, and the meat was broke into pieces, so I think the fresh frog meat is better than the frozen one.
If you have never tried frog meat before, I really recommend you to try, and you will love it.
