Sandworm is very delicious and rare |
Because the sandworm is delicious but rare, today people have tried to keep the sandworm in many ways to be eaten all year round. In the past, grandparents made roasted sandworm, using a pot of lined banana leaf, roasting and puting it in a sealed container and served with fresh vegetables, however this method is now rarely used.
Now, the simplest way is to keep in the freezer compartment of the refrigerator, or more carefully, people make sandworm sauce and eat with boiled meat.
In Hanoi, if one can not afford to buy sandworm for home-made processing, they can come to some restaurants in Hang Chieu, Gia Ngu or Lo Duc street.
