Ginataang kuhol is a Filipino snail stew made from apple snails in coconut milk with leafy vegetables, onion, garlic, ginger (or turmeric), siling haba chilis, bagoong alamang (shrimp paste), and salt and pepper.

The dish was originally used for members of the genus Pila, which are the native apple snail species found in the Philippine islands.

[1] Golden apple snails originally entered the Philippines from 1982 to 1984 from farmed specimens in Taiwan.

If the shells are retained, the end tips are snipped off to facilitate cooking and to loosen the meat inside.

[6][7] The dish is cooked by sautéing the garlic, onions, and ginger (or turmeric) until translucent and fragrant.
