Ingredients
- 30g dried cicadas (yes, you heard that right!)
- 300ml milk
- 2 tablespoons honey
- 3 tablespoons fresh chives, finely chopped
Instructions
- Prepare the Cicadas: Start by rehydrating those dried cicadas. Place them in a bowl of warm water for about 10 minutes. Don’t just stand there! Make sure they’re plump and ready to go!
- Heat the Milk: In a saucepan, pour in the milk and bring it to a gentle simmer. Don’t let it boil over, or you’ll have a bloody mess to clean up! Keep an eye on it!
- Add Honey: Once the milk is heated, stir in the honey. Mix it well until it’s fully dissolved. Taste it! If it’s not sweet enough for you, add more honey, but don’t go overboard!
- Incorporate Cicadas: Drain the cicadas and toss them into the milk mixture. Let them simmer for about 5 minutes. This will allow those flavors to meld together beautifully. Stir occasionally – I don’t want you burning anything!
- Finish with Chives: Remove the saucepan from the heat and sprinkle in the chopped chives. Give it a good stir! This adds a fresh kick that will elevate this dish to another level!
- Serve: Ladle the cicada mixture into bowls. Make it look appealing! No one wants to eat something that looks like slop! Garnish with a few extra chives on top.
