Steaming crabs is the most authentic way.
The simplest steamed crab is boiled in cold water.

Prepare 8 hairy crabs, 8 slices of ginger, 5g shredded ginger, 3g pepper, and proper amount of vinegar and salt. Wash the hairy crabs first. If it's a bound crab, don't change it. Many people change, so they don't know how to bind. Soak crabs in clean water for half an hour, and change the water every 15 minutes.

Put 2-3 prickly ash in each crab belly to remove fishy smell and enhance fragrance. Wash the steamer, first put the ginger slices on the steamer, then put the crab back on the steamer and sprinkle some salt water. Put cold water in the bottom of the pot, then add crabs, steam for 5 minutes on high fire, and steam for 8 minutes on low fire after the steamer is fully started. When vinegar and shredded ginger are mixed together, it becomes the sauce for hairy crabs. Dip it in and eat it. It's completely original.

skill

It is best to steam crabs in cold water. Crabs steamed in cold water are full of flavor and tender meat. A few people can cook crabs, but they should also be cooked in cold water. Crabs must be steamed alive, which is the most delicious. Don't kill crabs before steaming. That's all wrong. It will breed bacteria. Never buy dead crabs, there are too many bacteria. Putting a piece of ginger at the bottom of each crab can increase the fragrance of crabs and get rid of bad smell.

Many people don't know the skill of putting 2-3 peppers in crab belly. Chili is added to the crab belly. Crabs are really super fragrant. You can try. Don't put too much pepper. Steamed crabs must be steamed in reverse (the crab's back faces the bottom of the pot), which can prevent the loss of crab yellow and crab juice and increase the flavor of crabs. Crabs must be steamed with high fire first, and then steamed with medium and small fire for 8- 13 minutes (generally about 10 minutes according to the size of crabs), and the steaming time should not be too short.
