Spicy temptation on a rainy day [Secret Huang Meng Thirteen-Spice Crayfish]

Overview

Speaking of crayfish, I can't stop eating them. I miss them so much if I don't eat them for a few weeks. Last week, a typhoon raged in Shanghai. I braved the strong wind and went to the market to buy 2 kilograms of crayfish. My husband and I ate lobster for lunch, paired with the blueberry fruit wine we ordered online. The typhoon roared outside the window, but we felt cozy inside the house~~

  4. I have a good relationship with the boss of the crayfish I bought from the market. I always buy from them and don’t bargain when I buy them, so the boss helped me take care of the threads and heads of the crayfish. Just rinse it off with water when you come back.

  8. After the lobster water boils, add green peppers and green onions, + thirteen spices + five-spice powder + Pixian bean paste + sand tea sauce + chili sauce. (You can adjust this according to your own taste and the sauces you have at home. I used some Lee Kum Kee Shacha Sauce, Shanfu Chili Sauce and Pixian Doubanjiang bought at the market. Because the sauce is added, there is no need to add salt)
