4 dishes from cockroaches suddenly become a specialty in China

Always in the top of the most hated animals in the world, cockroaches are the terror and obsession of many people.

But in some places, this insect is used to process a number of dishes, including dishes considered as specialties.

Cockroach sushi

In Sichuan province (China), a farm raises more than 10 million cockroaches as a food source for local restaurants. And cockroach sushi is one of the dishes made from this special ingredient.

The sushi pieces are made according to the familiar recipe, but instead of using meat or seafood as a topping, people will put deep-fried cockroaches on top.

Cockroaches with spicy sauce

Also in Sichuan province, cockroaches are also cooked in a spicy sauce. If only considering the appearance, this dish looks more eye-catching and attractive.

Cockroaches are stir-fried with some other ingredients, and of course, hot chili peppers are indispensable – the famous spice of Sichuan.

Deep fried cockroaches

In Shandong province, Sichuan, Yunnan, cockroaches are loved because they provide a lot of protein. Locals often bring cockroaches to bake, boil, stir-fry or fry.

In particular, the fried cockroach dish is considered a specialty, attracting diners by its rich flavor, crispy and greasy.

Dried cockroaches

In Taiwan, a food supply store has launched a dried cockroach snack. The manufacturer advertises this as a clean, safe and very tasty dish.

The cockroaches that are still in shape are dried, so they are very crispy, fleshy and contain many nutrients. As soon as it was released, this snack caused a fever on social networks, but not everyone was interested in buying it and trying it out.

The cockroaches in their original form are sold as snacks.
