Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 When selecting crabs, observe that the crab shells should be shiny and green, and the crab belly should be white; only live crabs with strong crab legs are high-quality crabs, and crabs must be eaten and cooked fresh. Live crabs bought back, especially crabs from the river, should be soaked in water for a period of time to allow them to remove impurities, sediment and feces from the digestive tract. Crabs like to huddle beside pools and in caves. They have complex feeding habits, including dead fish and rotten shrimps. The crab's two large clips are covered with downy hairs. When cleaning, the mud should be brushed clean, especially the abdomen of the crab should be brushed thoroughly.

4. 4 Crabs must be tied up for steaming. If they are not tied up properly, as the water temperature rises, the crabs will struggle to steam to death due to the heat.

Put a little ginger, green onion, perilla and old wine in the water.

   

5. 5 Steaming crabs uses this method to ensure the moisture of the crabs. It is not ordinary steaming with water. Steamed crabs must be boiled in cold water.

6. 6 The seasoning of steamed crab is the most important, this is what you get when you eat it. Choose organic soy sauce to ensure the quality of your seasoning. It is very nutritious. Organic soy sauce is twice as powerful as ordinary soy sauce. More importantly, it has miraculous anti-cancer properties. Prepare two kinds of seasonings, one is prepared with organic soy sauce for adults and organic soy sauce for children. Meet different taste requirements.

   

7. 7 You can prepare the seasoning yourself. If you find it tastes too bland, you can add mature vinegar, organic soy sauce and shredded ginger to the seasoning. Crab is a cooling food. Shredded ginger can kill bacteria and is delicious. Aged vinegar helps digestion and is the best dipping sauce for steamed crabs. Eat it with seasonings to make the crab meat taste sweeter.
