Sarawakian Local Delights : Frogs

Frogs have long been a delicacy for the Chinese, from the Imperial kitchens to the ordinary stoves. Frog leg porridge is much favoured by the young and the young. Before a Chinese boy was able to walk the parents would give him frog leg soups cooked with herbs.

Frog legs are usually cooked in bamboo stems in the longhouse. Another way of preparing frog legs is simply to roast the freshly prepared meat over a wood fire built on the river pebble beach.

Frog legs are also served in soups, cooked with lemon grass, ginger and chillies. Some frog legs are stir fried with soy sauce and lots of ginger and sugar.
