【Steamed Hairy Crab】----A must-have food during the National Day holiday

Overview

Crab must be eaten slowly and carefully in order to appreciate its deliciousness. I think crabs are not worth eating. I guess they are impatient people who are impatient to dig out the little bits of meat and cannot taste the deliciousness of the crabs. After chewing them, they throw away all the crab meat and the shell. After eating, thinking about the price of this meal, it is not worth it! The price-performance ratio is seriously inconsistent, and the taste of natural crab is also compromised. Holding chela to appreciate osmanthus and chrysanthemums is the elegance of the ancients. I often think that the reason why the ancients elevated crab eating to such a high level is, to put it bluntly, because of two words: enough leisure! I have a lot of time to study how to eat, in what environment to eat, and what tools to eat with. For example, the tools for eating crabs - eight pieces of crabs, which can be scooped, cut, pounded, and padded. It is much more complicated than Western food with interlaced knives and forks. But now why do we find it troublesome to even change knives, forks and spoons during meals? It’s because time is getting tighter and we are always worried about something. How can we have such leisurely time to wait for a steamed crab for an hour or two! After much deliberation, the most suitable crab-eating season for China is the National Day holiday, which happens to be in season. If you don’t have to travel, find a sunny morning, go to the morning market to buy some river crabs, come back and cook some refreshing side dishes, and finally steam the crabs and serve wine, and the whole family will be happy. After lunch, the person who loves crabs can slowly enjoy the sunshine and a glass of wine, turn on music or TV, and spend the entire afternoon dealing with his two. This kind of leisure time is probably only available during long holidays. Who can say that this is not the best way to relax? Crabs are not a rare thing nowadays. However, in terms of taste and food characteristics (crabs are cold in nature), it is still not advisable to eat more than one at a time. Just 1-2 crabs at a time. Stop eating when you are not satisfied with it. It is the best! I once ate 6 large crabs in one day. Fortunately, I didn't get sick. I really shouldn't have! Although there are more and more ways to eat crab nowadays, the timeless classic steaming is always the first choice to highlight the deliciousness of crab meat. Remember to eat female crabs during this season, they are full of yellow!

Ingredients

Steps

  1. After buying the hairy crabs, keep them in clean water for one hour and spit out the impurities. For convenience, I asked the seller to tie it up for me. This is to avoid pricking your hands or causing the crab limbs to become incomplete after steaming due to struggling during the steaming process.
