Although fried cicada monkeys are delicious, the nutrients they contain are destroyed. You may want to coat them with a layer of tempura powder, then fry them in the oil pan for a while and then take them out. The meat inside is very tender and the nutrients are basically not destroyed. Specific method: Pour 150 grams of cicada monkey into a vegetable bowl, wash off the mud and sand, take out and sprinkle some fine salt on it and marinate for half an hour. You can also put the cicada monkey in a pot of boiling water to kill it, take it out, and soak it in salt water for a few hours or boil it in a pot of salt water for a while. Add olive oil to the pan, not too much. Heat the pan to 40% hot and fry the cicadas until crispy or the cicada shells turn golden brown. Remove from the pan, drain the oil and place on a plate for later use. Then sprinkle with fine salt, MSG, cumin and chili powder.
