Prepare ingredients:
Crab, pepper, garlic, ginger, yellow wine, aged vinegar.
Step one:
Tie the crab first, so it will be easier to clean and won't be cut by the crab. You can also fix crabs' legs, so that they can stay honestly and not run around. I remember the first time you steamed crabs, when you put them in the pot, you counted five. When you steamed crabs, you would see four. I don't know when one ran away.
Step 2: Clean
Soak crabs in clear water for 40 minutes to an hour, and then scrub crabs with a small brush, especially the abdomen, because dirt is easy to stick there.
Step 3:

Put cold water in the pot, add a little more water, add some pepper, put some ginger slices on the steamer, pour the crab upside down on the ginger slices (this is very important), then pour some yellow wine on the crab, cover the pot and steam for about 20 minutes.
Step 4: Serve and eat.
After the crab is steamed, let's untie the crab and untie the rope. Mix with a bowl of garlic vinegar. It's not very delicious It is really delicious.
Tips:
1, when steaming crabs, put cold water in the pot.
The crabs steamed in cold water are full of fragrance and tender meat. If steamed with hot water, the fishy smell inside will not come out, it tastes too fishy and crab roe will easily flow out.
2. The crab's belly should face up.
Many of us usually make this mistake, and the result is a lot of crab roe. If we put the crab's belly up, we can effectively prevent crab roe from flowing out and reduce losses. After all, crab roe is the soul and the most nutritious.
3. The main purpose of pouring yellow wine is to deodorize, and cooking wine can be used instead of yellow wine.
The crabs steamed in this way are complete, tender and delicious, have no fishy smell and will not escape. They are definitely for entertaining guests.
