Hairy crabs are a seasonal delicacy, and the most important thing is to enjoy them at the right time. "Nine males and ten females" and "September group navel, October tip" are all talking about the time to eat crabs. In the ninth month of the lunar calendar, the female crab eggs are full, and the crab yellow is delicious and delicate. The old saying is very accurate. October is the best time to eat female crabs. If you get tired of steaming and changing the taste, the hairy crabs can also be stewed in oil. The taste is very good.

3. Cut chives into sections, slice ginger, pepper sections, and garlic cloves.

4. Put sugar, vinegar, cooking wine, light soy sauce, salt, a little starchy pepper into it and mix thoroughly.

5. Heat a little more oil in the pan, and dip the sliced surface with starch, so that the crab roe will not fall out during frying.

6. Fry in the pan until the crab changes color and remove.

7. Leave some more oil in the pot, put the ginger and garlic in it and stir fry until fragrant.

8. Put the crab pieces in and stir well.
