Where does fried crab with ginger and onion come from?

Fried crab with ginger and onion comes from Hunan and belongs to Hunan cuisine.

Stir-fried crab with ginger and onion, also known as stir-fried crab with fragrant sauce, is made from Portunus trituberculatus as raw material, supplemented by ginger and onion. It is precisely because crab meat tastes tasteless that many people like to taste crabs. Yuan Mei, a gourmet in Qing Dynasty, thought that crabs were suitable for eating alone, so it was not recommended to add side dishes in the production process, and it was best to slaughter, peel and fry them now. There is no side dish in the fried crab with ginger and onion. Only when there is no chives, a small amount of chives will be added to enhance the fragrance and remove the fishy smell, which is the same as ginger and garlic.

When cooking fried crab with ginger and onion, the prepared sauce is usually added, so there is no need to dip it in vinegar. But crab is a cold food after all, so it is suggested to drink some yellow wine, which can drive away the cold and warm the stomach.

Crabs are not suitable for eating peanuts and sweet potatoes.
