Tips: Gently rub the freshwater snail meat with flour and rinse it to reduce its slimy surface texture.
Tips: Mallow greens can easily become too soft if simmered too long, so add them separately from the snail meat.
Tips: Doenjang varies in saltiness by brand, so it’s best to adjust the seasoning at the end rather than adding too much at the beginning.
