Nowadays, the living conditions are better, and the food has become richer. In the past, I used to eat radish and cabbage all day, but now I have meat for three meals a day. Only meat is not enough, and there are seafood and seafood.
Crab is one of the seafood that many people like to eat. In the past, people gave eggs as gifts, but now they give hairy crabs as gifts, which is twice as embarrassing.
Hairy crabs are river crabs, and the most famous one is the crabs in Yangcheng Lake. Although they are delicious, they cost dozens of pieces for one. Occasionally, it's ok to relieve cravings, but they can't afford to eat them if they are eaten frequently. Ordinary river crabs are found all year round. September is the best time to eat crabs, and the temperature in April and May is almost the same as that in September. At this time, crabs are very fat.

Yesterday, when I went to the supermarket, I met a big crab doing activities, which was much cheaper than usual. The female crab was a catty of 3 yuan and the male crab was a catty of 25 yuan. Many people don't know that the female crab has crab yellow, and the male crab is called crab paste, which is very full and fat.
besides crayfish, there are spicy crabs, which are the most popular food stalls in the night market. They are delicious crabs.
Although it is delicious, it is not suitable for home cooking. The simplest and most convenient way at home is to steam crabs. Steaming crabs seems easy, but it's not easy at all. In the past, many people encountered problems when steaming crabs, that is, losing crab roe (crab paste) and crabs falling off their legs.
tying up is too much trouble
The simplest solution is to tie up crabs. However, it is too much trouble to tie up live crabs, so I accidentally caught them, and many people stopped tying them. As a result, a lot of crab legs fell off and there was no appearance. I asked my uncle, who is a chef, and he told me that steamed crabs don't need to be tied. Just do these three things and pour them directly into the pot. The crab roe won't lose, and the crab legs won't fall off. It's delicious and delicious.
steamed crabs, cold water and hot water are controversial! Many people use the wrong water, so it is no wonder that crab roe is lost and crab legs are steamed off.

Chef said that when steaming crabs, they must be steamed with cold water. When the water temperature rises slowly, crabs will not run around and their legs will not fall off, which is the same as boiling frogs in warm water. Let's share with you the chef's practice of steaming crabs. Don't miss out on those who like to eat.

Prepare some fresh crabs. River crabs are fierce, so don't brush them with a brush. My uncle taught me a trick. Take two pots, one big and one small, put the crab in the big pot, add some water, then buckle the small pot and shake it for a few minutes, then you can wash off the sediment on the surface.
After washing, add a proper amount of salt and soak for 2 minutes to kill bacteria on crabs, and then rinse with clear water.

After the crabs are washed, put them in a basin and pour in an appropriate amount of high-alcohol liquor. After drinking the wine, the crabs will get drunk, and they will not struggle and their legs will not fall off. At the same time, liquor can sterilize and make crabs have a wine aroma.
Slice ginger, spread it in a steamer, and put the crab's belly up in the steamer, so that the crab won't run around. Add a proper amount of water to the steamer, pour a tin of beer, put the steamer on, turn on the fire and start steaming. After steaming for 15~2 minutes, the crab will be cooked, depending on the size of the head, and it will definitely be cooked in 2 minutes.

. Crabs are cold, so it's best to dip them in ginger juice to drive away the cold. Cut ginger into powder, put it in a bowl, pour proper amount of mature vinegar, and dip it in crab meat.
Steaming crabs is actually quite simple, but many people don't master the trick, which leads to the loss of crab paste and the loss of crab legs.
If you remember these three points, the crab will not lose its legs. First, adding a proper amount of white wine can sterilize, remove fishy smell, enhance fragrance and make the crab meat mellow. Second, be sure to put the pot in cold water, with the abdomen facing up; Third, the crab is covered with ginger slices, which can effectively remove fishy smell and cold, and make crab meat taste better.
