Sea Snails in Spicy Wine Sauce

Sea snails are cleaned and quickly blanched, then cooked in a fragrant, spicy clay-pot sauce built from ginger, garlic, onion, dried chillies, spicy bean paste and Chu Hou paste. Soy sauce and oyster sauce bring a deep savoury backbone, while white pepper adds a gentle kick. The finish is all about aroma: Huatiao wine, rice wine, and a final splash of rose wine create a bold, warming, restaurant-style seafood dish with a rich, glossy sauce—topped with fresh red chilli and green onion for a bright lift.
