Steps for Steamed hairy crab
1
River crab, you must choose fresh ones. Dead crabs have toxins in their bodies and cannot be eaten.
2
Put in a large pool of clear water and put the crabs in and let them soak for 20 minutes.
3
Then use a brush to brush under the faucet one by one. Brush the fluff on both sides, including the foot bends and crab tongs. If you are afraid that crabs will pinch your hands, you can use a large clip to pinch the brush like me.
4
Pour appropriate amount of water into the steamer, add a steaming tray, put the washed crabs into the pan, cover the lid, heat it on high heat, and steam it on low heat for about 20 minutes.Steamed hairy crab Make Tips
Comrades who are not afraid of trouble can also tie the crab legs with ropes. First, the crabs will not crawl randomly. Secondly, the steamed crabs will have full limbs, so they will not lose their arms and legs. However, based on my personal experience, this method is suitable for steaming only a few crabs at a time, and the number is relatively small. If we steam a lot at one time, the crabs will bite each other, making the other unable to move, so in the end, it will be steamed with all arms and legs. Don't worry.
