1. The hairy crabs were fed in clean water for about 1 hour and vomited dirty things. (There is no need to untie the rope, the picture shows the male crabs who escaped from prison by themselves)
2. Use a brush to clean the surface of the hairy crab (if it is disassembled and washed, it must be re-tied, otherwise the fragile shape of its struggling legs will be incomplete when steaming).
3. Use 2-3 slices of ginger and cut finely, and cut the rest into slices for later use.
4. Add balsamic vinegar and sugar to the minced ginger and stir evenly into a dipping sauce and set aside.
5. Add appropriate amount of water to the steamer, add rice wine after the fire is boiled.
6. Add ginger slices and continue high heat to keep it boiling.
7. Put in a steamer with the crab belly facing up, and put a slice of ginger on top of each crab.
8. Cover the lid and steam on high heat for 15 minutes. After the crab turns bright red, use kitchen scissors to untie all the ropes and prepare for serving.
9. The red hairy crabs are out of the pot, with a glass of rice wine, it tastes absolutely delicious.
Tips:1. Crabs are naturally cold, so you need to increase the amount of ginger to neutralize it, and the same is true with a small glass of rice wine.
2. The traditional saying says that crabs and honey, persimmons, peanuts, eggplants and other foods are incompatible with each other, which can easily cause diarrhea and even food poisoning. But now some experts believe that this is just a manifestation of people with weak spleen and stomach eating too much cold food, not food restraint. Various statements are not the same. I am not a doctor and cannot make professional judgments. Please understand for yourself.
3. Pregnant women, people with allergies and weak spleen and stomach are advised to eat with caution.
