Traditional method of cooking Shanghai noodles with crab

It's easy to eat, just open your mouth and chew. But making food delicious is difficult, at least most people can't do it. Why does this happen? Because they don't have a good solution. Today, I will teach you some tips on how to cook the traditional Shanghai noodles with crab.

1. Small sea crabs can be bought in the seafood market. If you don’t have such small ones, you can use river crabs instead. First, rinse the small crabs you bought, open the crab navel and remove the crab gills and other internal organs. Then use a knife to split it in half from the middle. There is one thing you must pay attention to here, that is, once you split the crab in half, the crab roe will flow out. To avoid this waste, the crab meat and crab roe should be quickly sealed in the crab shell with dry flour.

2.1 Add appropriate amount of oil into the wok. Since you are frying crabs, you need more oil. Then turn on medium heat and cook until 70% hot. Use chopsticks to pick up the crab pieces that have just been coated with flour. Put the floured side down first. After the flour solidifies and sets, take it out and fry all the cut sides of the crab pieces one by one.

4.1 Leave some oil in the wok, heat it up, add chopped green onion and ginger, and when the aroma comes out, add the fried crab pieces and stir-fry for about 1 minute. Add a small amount of Shaoxing rice wine and stir-fry slightly. Then add appropriate amount of soy sauce, sugar, salt and water in turn, cover and simmer. It is best to use enough water to just cover the crab body. Cook for about 2 minutes.

5.2 After all the crab pieces have been cut, heat the wok to 80% hot, then put the whole crab piece into the wok and fry until it turns red. Remove and drain for later use.

Food permeates our daily lives, and the health of food is closely related to our lives. After reading the introduction to the traditional method of cooking crab in Shanghai noodles, you really should learn and try it yourself. In this way, you can not only eat happily and with peace of mind, but also gain a healthy body and mind.
