According to different processing methods, drunkenness can be divided into raw drunkenness and drunk drunkenness.

Making skills of drunken crab
It is best to choose fresh river crabs and wash them thoroughly with water before making them. The stains on crabs are disinfected with highly toxic wine.
It is best to control the storage temperature in the curing process at about three degrees below zero.
If you are not used to eating, you can marinate it and steam it again on the pot. It is also delicious after steaming.
Crabs are cold. When eating crabs, you should drink ginger soup, or you can add vinegar, soy sauce, Jiang Mo, or mustard to make the sauce more delicious.
