There is a saying in Shanghai, "Autumn breeze makes crab's feet itchy." Every year in mid-October, when the hairy crabs are fatter, they will be bought to try them. Generally, two methods of steaming and boiling are used. Today I baked it with salt, which can lock in the deliciousness of the crab even more! My husband and I agree that this method can best highlight the true flavor of crabs!

Salt-baked Hairy Crabs

1. For the crab you bought, use a brush to clean the whole body of the crab, put it in clean water, and raise it for about half a day [Let it spit out the dirt in the body]

2. 200g salt in a bowl

3. Knock in about 1 egg white

4. Mix thoroughly

5. Drain the crab and coat it with step 4

6. Paint until you can't see the true face of the crab

7. Adjust the oven to 180° and preheat for 3 minutes

8. Put the crab in the oven and bake for about 15 minutes [I bought a 4-double, the cooking time can be increased or decreased according to the specific situation]

9. Take it out with cotton gloves

10. Crush the salt crust with a stainless steel spoon

11. Use a brush to remove the salt from the small areas

12. Open the lid to eat

Tips:

1Crab is very cold, it is recommended to eat with rice wine. 2Crab made by this method is slightly salty and very delicious. If the taste is heavy, you can add sugar with ginger and steam it with Zhenjiang balsamic vinegar for dipping. 3 The heart and gills of the crab are Inedible
