Frogs, wild animals sitting on the edge of the rice field, turn on the flashlight to catch them, make frog cakes that the whole village praises.

After each downpour, my father would put on a raincoat, a conical hat, a rattan basket tucked around his waist, and a flashlight on his forehead to go looking for frogs. My father worked hard every night, wading deep into the fields, and sometimes he would come home at dawn with a basket full of frogs.

Frog sausage - a delicious specialty of the countryside.

When the frogs were brought home, my father peeled off the skin and took out the meat. My father said that when peeling the frogs' skin and removing the meat, he must not wash them with cold water, because if the cold water mixed in when pounding the frog meat, it would not be delicious and would be difficult to puree.

Dad seasoned with a little salt, fish sauce, pepper, lemongrass, chili, mixed with frog meat, then pounded it in a stone mortar until the frog meat was sticky and no longer stuck to the pestle. Then he made round frog meatballs.

The frog cakes are fried in boiling oil until they are puffed up and golden brown, then my father takes them out and puts them on a plate.

The fragrant aroma of the frog sausage wafted through our noses, making us excited. And as always, our father always let us eat a piece first.

The fragrant, sweet, fatty frog sausage makes your mouth crave it just by mentioning it.

Frog sausage must have dipping sauce to go with it. The dipping sauce for frog sausage is a mixture of good fish sauce with a little sugar, chili and garlic.

The dipping sauce for frog sausage is especially indispensable with some chopped lemon leaves. Frog sausage is delicious with white rice, vermicelli noodles or cooked with bamboo shoots. The sweetness of frog meat, the aroma of lemon leaves, the tingling of chili, once eaten, is unforgettable.
