Cooking StepsHow to cook Spicy Stir-fried Frog Legs step by step
-
Step 1 DetailRinse the cleaned frog legs thoroughly with water. Cut off the webbed feet, then use the back of a knife to crack the hard bones. Pat dry with paper towels.

-
Step 3 DetailSeason the wok with oil first, then pour it out and add fresh cold oil. Sprinkle salt over the bottom, then add the frog legs. Do not move them — pan-fry over medium-low heat for about 1 minute to evaporate moisture. Flip and continue frying until both sides are lightly golden. Remove and set aside.
-
Step 4 DetailLeave the base oil in the wok. Add ginger, garlic, and bird’s eye chilies. Stir-fry until fragrant.
-
Step 5 DetailReturn the frog legs to the wok and toss well. Splash rice wine along the edge of the wok to deglaze and remove any gamey smell. Add light soy sauce, a splash of dark soy sauce for color, and a pinch of chili powder. Stir-fry vigorously over high heat until the sauce becomes aromatic.
-
Step 6 DetailPour in a bowl of boiling water and cook over high heat for 3–4 minutes. When the liquid has reduced to a small amount of sauce, add the green and red peppers and white pepper. Toss over high heat and serve immediately.
