Cold snail vermicelli

Also includes the main ingredients are vermicelli and snails, but the way to prepare and enjoy cold snail vermicelli is opposite from that of hot vermicelli. The cook chooses medium-sized snails, removes the tail and uses mussel vermicelli, instead of stuffed snails and vermicelli. In particular, the snails are steamed, cooled, then stirred into a separate bowl and filled with the broth cooked with vinegar and snail broth.

The eater picks up a piece of vermicelli, dips it in a bowl, eats it with a snail, and takes a sip of the broth full of sour, sweet, and spicy flavor. But note that this cold snail noodle dish should only be eaten between noon and 3 pm, not all day like hot snail noodle.
