I’m pretty sure you heard everything tastes like chicken, right? Well I have to say that frog legs do taste a little like chicken. The texture of frog legs is a cross between dark meat chicken and a white meat fish like bass. I think that frog legs are a good type of meat to work with. It tastes good, absorbs flavor and it’s hard to overcook it. Not only are they good to work with, but they are high in protein and low in fat. You just need to get over the fact that it’s frog legs.
They way I am going to show is a Chinese stir fry that is simple and quick to make. There are very few ingredients and very little prep time, but it has a lot of flavor.
Black Bean and Chili Frog Legs
Makes 2-3 servings
1 lb of frog legs
3 tablespoons of soy sauce
1 tablespoon of black bean paste
1 teaspoon of garlic
½ teaspoon hot chili garlic sauce
1/2 cup of julienned bell peppers
Start by heating up a little vegetable oil in a pan over high heat. Once the oil is hot, toss in the frog legs, soy sauce, black bean sauce, garlic, hot chili garlic sauce and 3/4 cup of water in the pan. Stir the ingredients together and leave to cook for about 2-3 minutes. By this time the water should have pretty much evaporated. Toss in the bell peppers and give all the ingredients a stir. Make sure to evenly coat the frog legs with the sauce. Cook for another 2 minutes and all should be done and ready to eat.
Give this reipe a try. Give frog legs a try.
