How to make king crabs:

1. Steamed king crabs

First of all, we clean the king crabs with clean water. Be patient when washing! Then separate the crab cover and crab body and remove the crab lungs (gill-like cotton stuff). Remove the crab legs and cut the crab body into four pieces. Add water to the pot and add ginger slices. Put the crab body and legs on a plate and put in a small steamer. After the water boils, steam over high heat for five minutes.

Finally, take a bowl, put the minced ginger, add light soy sauce, rice vinegar, sesame oil and mustard paste to make a "three-fourth oil". The steamed king crab is eaten with dipping sauce, which can be adjusted according to your own taste. Friends who like spicy mustard, don’t add too much, otherwise you will regret it.

2. King Crab Steamed Egg Custard

First of all, we divide the king crab into crab cover, crab body and crab legs. Then put them together. Steam the eggs, place them on the crab lids, let the crab lids absorb the flavor of the shells, steam them together for a few minutes, then they will be steaming hot from the oven. For such a big crab cap, you must steam it with 5 eggs to fully absorb the sweetness of the crab cap without wasting it!
