Drunken crab is one of our specialty delicacies in Qidong. <br />Outsiders are often surprised by the preference of Qidong people for it, but Qidong people relish it! <br />I remember when I went to my uncle's house when I was a child, there were drunk crabs on every table. <br />You can have no meat or vegetables, but you must have drunk crabs.<br /> Of course, my uncle wouldn't put so much seasoning, but it was just as delicious! <br />My uncle, who lives by the sea, has a very large "winding net". He often carries it to the sea and makes a "winding" to the shoal. There are lively small fish and shrimps in the net. Marinate it with a handful of salt. It is delicious for a few meals. <br />The Xiaomin Gully, which is scattered along the field in front of the house, is filled with fish, shrimps, and crabs-what a land of fish and rice!

The traditional dish in Cantonese cuisine,"Steamed Chicken with Scallion Oil", is very famous and one of the representative dishes in Cantonese cuisine. In banquets, it is usually served as a white brine platter to entertain guests. It tastes original and authentic! <br />I also often cook this dish, mainly because it is simple and convenient to prepare, tastes good, and chews crispy and tender. Especially after serving, it looks beautiful, giving people an atmosphere. <br />But later I concluded that if I followed the original method, it would taste a little lighter, and everything would have to be dipped in the sauce. Through improvements, I have made the taste of the brine heavier, and the chicken has a salty and light taste. Even if it is not dipped in the sauce, the taste is still beautiful! <br />Today, let's first make the "chopped chicken with scallion oil" in this Cantonese dish. The main methods are as follows;

White cut chicken, also known as three butter chicken, is a famous traditional dish in Shanghai. It is often used as a cold plate for banquets and served as a accompaniment to wine. Because the chicken is cooked without seasoning, it is called white-cut chicken. White cut chicken seems to be a favorite among Shanghai people, as evidenced by the number of shops and products selling white cut chicken on Shanghai Beach. <br />The white cut chicken must be made of "three yellow" tender hens with yellow feet, yellow skin and yellow mouth as raw materials. After processing and cooking, the skin is thin, crispy, the meat is tender and fresh. The soy sauce used to be dipped in is unique and adds to the icing on the cake. <br />Shanghai white-cut chicken is famous throughout the past and present for its golden color, bright oil, and extremely tender taste. It is never tired of eating it all the time and always fresh. <br />In ordinary times, I often buy ready-made white cut chicken, which my son likes very much. In order for my son to eat fresh white cut chicken with smooth skin and tender meat, today I also copy it and make my own simple and delicious white cut chicken. Because it was the first time I cooked it, the cooking time was a little long and it was not white enough. I will know next time.
