Using the heat of the fried coarse salt,
Bake the food,
It can maintain the original flavor of the food,
It adds a different flavor to the food.
Big crabs given to mother-in-law by relatives during the Mid-Autumn Festival,
I took a few back to help consume them.
I usually eat crabs steamed.
Today I was thinking of a salt bake,
It can be considered as an addiction to cooking!
When I first posted the picture,
Many friends said,
How salty this is,
Full of salt.
in fact,
The heat preservation effect of coarse salt is used here,
Did not encounter the salt melted by the water,
It won't be salty.
Have you ever used coarse salt to make candied chestnuts?
This principle is also used!
I didn’t buy many female crab roe this time.
But the crab paste for male crabs is still quite a lot.
Fatty.

Salt Baked Crab

1. Wash the crabs and control the moisture.

2. Add shredded green onion, shredded ginger, cooking wine and marinate for 30 minutes.
(Cooking wine can be replaced by high-grade liquor and Huadiao wine. If you don’t like the taste of green onions, you can omit it, don’t save ginger shreds)

3. Pickled crabs, take them out, and blot the water with kitchen paper.
(Suck up the water, otherwise the water will be too large, and the salt will melt, and it will be salty)

4. Coarse salt, add pepper, star anise and bay leaves.
(I thought of a question after it was done. Although the salt did not dissolve, it might also damage the protective layer of the pot. You can put a layer of tin foil on the bottom of the pot and put the salt particles on the tin foil. This is perfect)

5. Stir well.

6. Start the rice cooker rice cooker program and work until the salt is hot.
(The bottom of the claypot meal program is hot, one program takes about 45 minutes, and one program is enough)

7. Put the dried crab into the pot.

8. Bury the crabs with hot salt.

9. After the claypot rice process is completed, the crabs are all red and cooked thoroughly. Take it out and wipe off the salt particles on the body.

Tips:
1. The cooking wine can be replaced by high-grade liquor and Huadiao wine. If you don't like the taste of green onions, you can omit it.
2. Soak up the water, otherwise the water will be too large and the salt will melt and it will be salty.
3. Spread a layer of tin foil on the bottom of the pot, and then add salt to prevent the salt from melting and corroding the pot.
4. Use the Claypot Rice program, just one, open the lid midway
