Cabbage - braised cabbage with river crab

Overview

This is a dish from the old days of Tianjin Wei. I heard my grandma talk about it before: In the old days of Tianjin Wei, river crabs and sea crabs were not as popular as they are now. Especially the small river crabs I use today are eaten by poor families. Using them to stir-fry cabbage and make noodle soup is just like using dried shrimps to stir-fry vegetables.
