Ingredients

Steps

1. 1 The Yangcheng Lake hairy crabs that have just arrived are all alive. I dare not untie them. After being untied, they will show their teeth and claws and it will be difficult to tie them again.

   

2. 2 After rinsing with cold water, soak in light salt water for about half an hour, and then rinse clean with a toothbrush in running water.

   

3. 3 Peel, wash and slice the ginger.

   

4. 4 Add an appropriate amount of water to the pot, add green onions and ginger slices, leaving some of the ginger slices on top of the hairy crabs. The hairy crabs delivered this year do not come with seasonings, otherwise you can add some of your own seasonings, put the hairy crabs on the top drawer, and put ginger slices on top. The purpose is to remove the fishy smell and maintain the freshness of the hairy crabs.

   

5. 5 Bring to a boil and steam for about 10 to 15 minutes. The time depends on the size of the hairy crabs. Generally, those weighing more than half a catty need to be steamed for about 20 minutes. Those weighing about six ounces need to be steamed over high heat for 25 minutes to completely sterilize them. Those weighing less than half a catty only need to be steamed for 10 to 15 minutes after the water is boiled.

   

6. 6 Make another sauce. Hairy crabs are cold in nature. Dip in some ginger juice to dispel the cold. Chop the ginger into pieces, just right for cooking. Add some cooked oil, add seafood soy sauce, sugar and mature vinegar to taste.

   

7. 7 The meal is ready! The taste is really delicious, the oily crab roe is dripping, the meat is full of fat, tender and smooth, and the aftertaste is endless! I was so busy eating that I forgot to take a photo of the crab roe.
