For the advanced chef, cooking with the freshest ingredients can be a task not left to the faint of heart! An amateur Chinese chef, however, took a chance with a dish that proved for a surprising outcome. In a video posted to Weibo, China’s version of Twitter, on March 20, a man in an undisclosed location in China attempted to cook a large bowl full of Asian Rice Eel.

The Rice Eel gets its name for being found and caught in rice paddies. It makes for a common dish in parts of China, which could be literally translated as “Explosion-Fried Rice Eel.”
