Ingredients:
- Worms: 0.5kg
- Ground beef: 150 grams

Choosing Fresh Live Worms
Worms are naturally occurring creatures, abundant in marshy areas. They are most prevalent from the 9th to the 11th lunar month each year. For delicious worm cake, select large, plump worms with a red hue that are still alive. If the worms are small, greenish, weak, or only occasionally move, it indicates they're close to death and won't guarantee quality.
How to Make Worm Cake:
Step 1: Preparing the Worms:
- Rinse the worms with cold water to remove slime and debris.
- Next, place the worms in a small bowl, pour in boiling water, use chopsticks to stir well until the worm hairs fall off. Then, remove and drain.
Step 2: Clean and finely chop scallions and citrus peel.
Step 3: Place the worms in a bowl, use an egg beater to beat thoroughly. Then add finely chopped scallions, citrus peel, and minced meat, mix well.

Combine Ingredients Thoroughly
Step 4: After thoroughly mixing the ingredients, add 2 eggs, season with spices, and beat until you achieve a smooth and uniform mixture.
Step 5: Place a pan on the stove, add cooking oil, wait for the oil to heat up, then use a spoon to scoop the worm mixture into the pan and fry until both sides are golden brown.

Fry the worm cake until golden brown on both sides
