Making
Step 1: How to Make Crab
To boil the crab deliciously and not fishy, prepare the crab by stabbing the triangular end of the bib with a knife or scissors to kill the crab. This action works to help you easily wash the crab without worrying about clamping your hands as well as helping the crabs not lose their legs and claws after boiling.
Step 2: Clean the Crabs
When you buy crabs, you wash them several times with water to get rid of the sandy soil on the crabs. A brush can be used to scrub the shell and claws.
- Marinate sea crabs with a little salt, seasoning and pepper for about 25-30 minutes to make the dish taste rich.
- Put the crabs in the pot, fill with water, then put on the stove and boil the crabs for about 12-15 minutes.
- During the boiling process, the crabs should be turned over so that the crabs are cooked evenly, pay attention to boiled because eating rare crabs is easy to be poisoned.
- Remove the crab to a plate and enjoy with chili salt or fish sauce while it is still hot.
Tips for choosing delicious sea crab:
- Choose live sea crabs, look outside, see the opaque gray shell, press your hand on the bibs to feel firm, meaty crabs often have large bibs.
- Do not choose crabs with green shells, if you press the bib with your hand and feel soft, it is a crab with a lot of water, little meat, spongy and will not taste good.
- Choose a cow that is crawling, the bib is attached to the body of the crab, the legs and claws are moving, healthy and flexible, the spines on the claws and crab shells are still sharp.
