Recently, in the vegetable market, I found that hairy crabs that many people like to eat are getting better and better. There are also swimming crabs from other places in the seafood area, and many people buy them. So every year from mid-August, I suggest that you steam crabs for your family once a week, because crabs are rich in calcium, protein, phospholipids, multivitamins, crab lycopene, crab yolk and other nutrients. These substances can not only enhance their resistance, but even though steamed crabs are delicious, many people steamed crabs in Liuhuang, not only with their legs broken, but also with a full pot. So every year, after crabs come on the market, many fans ask me how to steam crabs so as not to turn my legs yellow.

In fact, according to my understanding and observation, many people put crabs directly into the steamer when steaming crabs at home. In fact, if you want your legs to stay yellow, steaming crabs directly in the steamer is the most taboo. There are three key points that I must keep in mind while steaming crabs. If these three points are only done at 2 o'clock, the steamed crabs will not taste good. When I shared my method of steaming crabs with many fans and friends, everyone said that the crabs steamed according to my method not only did not have yellow legs, but also had no fishy smell. Next, Chef Hu takes steamed hairy crabs as an example to teach you the correct method of steaming crabs. I hope that after you learn it, you can steam crabs that are more delicious than restaurants.

Raw material preparation: 8- 10 hairy crabs, 0/0g red peppers, 0/0g shredded ginger, 0/0g white vinegar 10ml salt and a proper amount of clear water.

The practice of steaming crabs:

Step 1: First, put the hairy crabs into clean water, and put salt and white vinegar into the water at the same time. Soak the hairy crabs for 3 minutes, then wash them and rinse them for later use.

Step 2: put a proper amount of hot water in the bottom of the pot, and then put 5 grams of red pepper and 5 grams of ginger into the pot.

Step 3: put the steamer on the steamer, then put 5g pepper and 5g shredded ginger on the steamer, and then put the washed crab into the steamer.

Step 4: Cover the pot, steam the crab for 12 minutes, then turn off the fire, stew the crab for 3-5 minutes, and then dip it in vinegar or your favorite sauce to eat.

Three tricks for steaming crabs:

1. Many people think that the crabs they bought are particularly clean. In fact, many crabs are raised in ponds now. This crab's legs and abdomen are dirty, so we must wash the crab thoroughly before steaming, otherwise the steamed crab will smell earthy. And washing crabs with white vinegar and salt water can wash crabs thoroughly.

2. When steaming crabs, you need to put a little pepper and shredded ginger in the water and crabs, because both pepper and shredded ginger have a good effect of enhancing fragrance and dispelling differences, so that the steamed crabs are more fragrant and tender.

3. When steaming crabs, be sure to steam them with hot water, because crabs will move during steaming. Steaming with hot water can make crabs die quickly, thus reducing the time for crabs to move, and the time for crabs to move will be reduced. Of course, crabs don't lose their legs.
