Autumn is here, and it is another crab harvest season. Many people have begun to eat crabs. Crab is cold in nature and has the effects of nourishing muscles and qi, regulating stomach and digestion, dispersing heat, dredging meridians, resolving knots and dispersing blood. Its meat and offal contain protein, fat, vitamins A, B1, B2 and other amino acids, as well as trace amounts of cholesterol. Crab shells contain calcium carbonate, crab erythrin, crab yellow pigment, chitin, protein, etc. Therefore, crab is a river food rich in protein and trace elements, which has a very good nourishing effect on the body. Crabs also have anti-tuberculosis effects, and eating crabs is of great benefit to the recovery of tuberculosis.
Female crabs are full of roe and male crabs are fat. Now is a good time to eat crabs! During the Mid-Autumn Festival, I bought a few to try out, but I felt that the crab meat was still not firm enough. Then it is most suitable to use current crabs to make crab meal, because it is easier to get the meat! Crab powder is made by removing crab meat and cooking it with ingredients. It can be paired with many other foods. For example, Shanghainese crab meal steamed buns, or crab meal tofu, crab meal grilled vegetables, etc. Lard is generally used to cook crab meal. Using lard to cook crab meal not only has a mellow taste, but also can isolate the air and keep it fresh longer. Use it to stir-fry, mix stuffing, mix noodles, and add freshness with just one spoonful. Find some free time and make some crab noodles yourself to try it!
