Cut the ingredients and clean the snails
Slice the lemongrass diagonally, thinly slice the ginger, and cut the pineapple into pieces about 1 cm thick. Thinly slice the garlic and shallots, cut the lime leaves into wide strips to stir-fry with the snails for fragrance, and slice the kumquats for garnish. After the snails have soaked with the chili for about 15 minutes, drain, rinse well with water and drain again.
