Steamed crab
The people of China have a long history of eating crabs, dating back to the era of the Emperor of the Zhou Dynasty. To this day, in the golden autumn season, it is still a great enjoyment for people to fight with crabs and admire chrysanthemums and recite poems. It can be seen that crabs are recognized as a precious taste in food, and there is a folk saying that "a plate of crabs is the top dish on the table." It is not only delicious, but also rich in nutrients. It is a high-protein supplement and is very beneficial to nourishing the body.

Crabs are rich in protein, trace elements and other nutrients, which have a good nourishing effect on the body. In recent years, studies have found that crabs also have anti-tuberculosis effects, and eating crabs is of great benefit to the recovery of tuberculosis. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that crabs have the effects of clearing heat and detoxifying, replenishing bones and marrow, nourishing muscles and activating blood circulation, clearing meridians and meridians, benefiting limbs, continuing injuries, nourishing liver-yin, and replenishing gastric juice. It has certain therapeutic effect on diseases such as congestion, injury, jaundice, waist and leg pain and rheumatoid arthritis.

If you eat crabs raw, pickled or drunk, you may be infected with a chronic parasitic disease called paragonimiasis. When eating steamed crabs, you should be careful to cook them for at least another 20 minutes after the water is boiled. Only by cooking them thoroughly can the bacteria in the crab meat be killed. It is also very important. When eating, you must remove four substances: crab gills, crab hearts, crab stomach, and crab intestines. These four things contain bacteria, viruses, sludge, etc.

This is the first time I have made a big crab, and I am a little at a loss. If I don't make it right, please don't slap the brick, haha.

  • Steamed crab Make Tips

    1. The gills, sandbags, and internal organs of crabs contain a large number of bacteria and toxins, which must be removed when eating. 2. You cannot eat dead crabs. Because dead crabs contain a large number of bacteria and harmful substances produced by decomposition, they can cause allergic food poisoning. 3. Uncooked crabs such as drunk crabs or pickled crabs should not be eaten. They should be steamed and boiled thoroughly before eating. Cooked crabs stored for too long should not be eaten. 4. Eat it with tea. Avoid drinking tea when eating crabs and within 1 hour after eating crabs. 5. Crab meat is cold in nature and should not be eaten too much. People with deficiency of the spleen and stomach should be paid special attention to. 6. People with allergies should not eat crabs. Crab meat is cold and has the effect of activating blood circulation and dispelling blood stasis, so it is not good for pregnant women, especially crab claws, which have obvious abortion effects.
