Dong Thap Muoi is famous for many tortoises and snakes. When catching a snake, strike its head until it is dead and use boiling water to scale the snake. Then disembowel it and pull out its liver. And chop the snake into smaller 10-centimetre parts and stew them until they become overdone and take them out. After that, pour rice and green peas into the snake stewing pot. Flavour the gruel when it is well-done and then split snake meat into as little parts as we do to chicken and mix them with lemon and persicaria. Ladle gruel into each bowl and add a little snake meat into each bowl. Spread ground pepper and onion and mix them up. Everytime we eat the gruel, we feel healthy after having it because this dish is to make our livers healthy and our bodies antipyretic and also is rich in nutrition and tastes good.
