I really love frog legs for it’s succulent and “sweet” flesh flavours. It’s almost like a tiny little free range chicken or malay/kampong chicken. Asian descent, especially east asian such China, Korea and Japan is the most frog consummers country. Frog leg called swikee or “water’s chicken” in Indonesia. Swikee soup is stewed frog in hot, sour and spicy frog leg with fermented soy bean taucho that populer in Purwodadi, Central Java. You can find the recipe here. Another popular frog cuisine in Indonesia is butterred frog leg or kodok goreng mentega in Bahasa Indonesia. I’ve been posted the buttered frog leg recipe here.
I just know that French had it’s own frog leg dish too.They had a freched stly frog (Note : just known about the french lamb rack recently). This simply treatment of frog leg make a fancy and cute looking frog leg. you shoud make a circle cut to the lower end of the femur or leg bone and pulled the meat to the other end, forgive my instruction then watch the video of making frenched frog leg here.
I served the Sesame crusted frenched frog leg with Spinach and Feta Cheese Stuffing Canelloni, creamy spinach puree and a little of chili oil. Playing and combining lot’s of texture and flavour is the secret of french cuisine. The sesame crustes is perfectly crispy and the frog leg meat is still juicy and succlulent, nothing possibly better than that. Instead of roasting the the frog leg, you can even deep fried, just make sure that you use enough amount of oil to completely submerged entire frog leg.

Oh my. My dad use to go “froggin” late at night and bring home these huge frog legs! My mom would cook them up right then and there. It was usually midnight or a little later. She always woke us up to have some! 🙂 I was wondering what those were in the background of your cannelloni post! Very impressive.
when i was a kid, 1 used to frogging in the small steam river near from my home, but never going on late night..
never had catch a huge frog like a farm raised that available in the supermarket,
but it’s all about fun actually….
lucky you my friend, this frogg is actually preety pricey compares to the chicken.
i’ve got this aroun 5-8 $ a pound.
Very creative way to serve frog legs! Delicious!
Thx, give it a try…
kaya ayam ya.. mirip drumstik kalu gini, tinggal tabur wijen..
paha ayam mini..hehehe
Mirip ayam kakinya
lbh tepatnya kayak drumstick sayap ayam mbak…
I once ate frogs legs in a restaurant as a child – can’t say I even remember what they tasted like and not think I know of anywhere here to buy them. At least chicken legs will be a good substitute for the wonderful recipe.
🙂 Mandy
Ou course you can make this with chicken drumstik too,
just roast or deep fried it longer unti done…..
The frog legs looks so very delicious! And everything else ofcourse 😉
Thankyou, you should have yours….
A wonderful presentation, Dedy. I bet they’re delicious. Frog legs here aren’t nearly as common as they once were. As a boy, I remember eating them often. Now, I cannot tell you the last time I enjoyed them. I need to change that.
I guess that’s what they called climate changes or global warming..
over frogging maybe causing it too…
frog leg is a kind of price in off season here too John
sptnya sayang ya buat dimakan, cantik sih fotonya 😛
lbh sayang lg klo dianggurin mbak, ksian saya yg masakin….
T_T
wow these look amazing and great presentation as always
Thx rebecca, grab some for you….
Aduh… jadi ngiler pagi2 disini baca ttg kodok ini… Ini harus dicoba, soalnya pake baking daripada goreng… kalo gorengan disini, waduh, satu rumah bisa bau seminggu… ha ha… Nah sekarang harus cari dimana bisa beli kaki kodok… 🙂
Eh, cuma kalo makan 6 kaki kodok.. mana bisa kenyang ya? hahaha….ini suami bisa complain…
Emang sih mbak, tp kan biasanya hidangan ala Perancis kan multiple courses..
jd bs dikombinasi dg menu lainnya sampai kenyang…hehehe
bukannya di USA asian groceries itu banyak mbak???
Bli ventilator fan makanya mbak, biar klo ngegoreng baunya bisa ilang…hehehe
Banyak sih, tapi jauh sekali.. nyetir di freeway bisa satu jam. Jadi aku jarang sekali ke Chinatown. Ventilator ada, tapi masih kurang juga.. ha ha… sampai dipinggiran stove dikasih satu mangkok isi vinegar juga masih bau rumahnya.
Daripada vinegar. mending bli karbon aktif atau air purifier yg ada airnya mbak…
aku pake air purifier juga biar gak bau rumah, apalagi kalo lb bikin salmon asap…..
works very well…
This is such a creative way to make frog leg! Looks great!
