Steamed hairy crab
Autumn is a harvest season, but also a season for many good food. Now, it's time to taste hairy crabs again. Li Bai once praised: "Crab claws are gold liquid, and Zaowu is Penglai. You must drink good wine and ride the moon to get drunk on the high platform."The last sentence makes me fascinated. Hehe, but I can't drink too much, so I can't get drunk on the high platform. However, eating crabs and riding the moon is still no problem.

    ◎ River crabs and lake crabs must be eaten alive. Dead crabs cannot be eaten, which will cause serious food poisoning;◎ Pregnant women should eat less or no crabs. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that crabs are cold and have the effect of activating blood circulation and removing blood stasis, so they are not good for pregnant women. (It's okay for pregnant women to eat less, I once ate it 2 or 3 times when I was pregnant, one at a time) ③ Add ginger slices and beer to the water to steam crabs to remove the fishy smell of crabs.◎ Crabs are cold in nature and should not be eaten too much to avoid causing abdominal pain and diarrhea. In addition, the crabs must be eaten with ginger vinegar, which not only removes the fishy smell but also highlights the delicacy of the crab meat. Moreover, the hot property of ginger removes the cold air of the crabs.◎ Crabs should not be eaten with tea, beer and persimmon, but warm rice wine is a perfect match for eating crabs.◎ Don't eat crab hearts. There is a hexagonal white crab heart between the two gills of the crab, which is extremely cold and not suitable for people with hypothermia. In addition, all internal organs should not be eaten, because internal organs accumulate heavy metals, eating too much can be poisoned.
