Boiled pike crabs taste a bit like steamed crabs, but are cooked slightly differently. Two pike crabs are stuffed into a pot and placed in water to boil. Add ginger slices, green onion knots, and cooking wine, bring to a boil over high heat, then turn down the heat to low for 5 minutes, and dip the pot in vinegar and ginger to serve.
Ingredients:300g of crab, soy sauce, ginger and vinegar.
Exercises:
1. After buying crabs, make sure to keep them in water so that they can fully crawl and breathe until they vomit out the dirt in their stomachs.
2. Then, using a brush, carefully brush the front and back of the crab. Wash them well and put them in a pot to cook.
3. Wait until the crab shells turn red, then cook for about ten minutes. Eat it with some soy sauce with ginger and rice vinegar.
2. How to clean pike crabs?
The first step:Prepare a plastic basin and an old toothbrush, introduce the right amount of water and white wine. Pour the crabs into the basin.
Step 2:Soak the pike crabs in the water for 5-10 minutes for a full bath. Through the stimulation of the wine, the spoils are expelled from the body, while the crabs are stunned by the white wine.
Tip:The wine removes the fishy odor of the pike crabs, but also makes them lose their struggle, making it easier to follow up. Of course, if you don't have white wine at home, you can use 45 degrees warm water to stun.
Step 3:With your left hand, use your thumb and forefinger to grab both sides of the crab cover and turn it over to face the stomach. Brush the eight legs of the crab with your right hand to remove the sediment.
Tip:Grab the thumb and forefinger of your left hand hard and don't struggle to escape.
Step 4:After brushing the thighs, use a toothbrush to brush the crab claws on both sides and both claws, especially the claws. Because the crab claws have hairs and are easy to hide dirt.
Step 5:Using your left thumb, index finger and ring finger together, grab a pair of trout claws and flip them over. Use your right thumb and index finger to open the crab belly button and squeeze out the spoils.
Tip:The three fingers of your left hand should work together, and you can't be afraid of being bitten by the crab claws. Once you grab the crab pincers, be sure to push hard and not let them break free, or they may get caught.
Step 6:When the belly button of the crab and the crab's stomach do not fit. Use a toothbrush to quickly brush away the mud and sand from the seam of the crab belly and crab navel.
Step 7:Put the cleaned pike crabs into a clean pot and rinse them with running water.
