Field rats 1 kg
Lemongrass 4 stalk
Implementation Steps
01
Use a knife to scrape off all the hair, especially around the armpits and belly. Then cut open the belly, remove all the innards and the anus, wash and drain thoroughly.
02
Mince the lemongrass very finely, then add salt, sugar, MSG and a little good fish sauce and mix well. If you like it spicy, add some sliced chili for extra flavor. Marinate the rat meat in the mixture for 15 to 20 minutes.
03
Put enough oil in a large pan to submerge the meat. When the oil is hot, add the meat and keep the heat low. Turn it with chopsticks until cooked evenly. When the skin turns a deep golden color and smells fragrant, turn off the heat and lift out onto a plate lined with paper towels.
