Twenty years ago, you wouldn't have chosen your own meals because the times didn't allow it. Twenty years later, you can choose your favorite meal, but you are too busy. But remember, don't let being busy take away your health. For the sake of health, please follow me to learn how to make Chaoshan Longevity Noodles with Crab

1. Prepare fresh crabs; (If you buy live crabs in your hometown, the merchants will help you prepare them, so it is more convenient)

2. Wash and shred shallots; remove seeds from red pepper and mince; mince ginger and garlic and set aside;

3. Soak the noodles in water for about 4 minutes, then break them up and drain the water; (It is best to use bulk curly noodles, which are similar to instant noodles. This kind of noodles will not be mushy when eaten, but will be more resilient and have an excellent taste)

4. Spread the noodles on a plate; (I prefer to eat noodles made this way, so I put a little more, usually one piece of noodles is enough)

5. Evenly drizzle appropriate amount of peanut oil on the surface;

6. Then spread the crabs on top.

7. Boil water in a steamer, put the crab in, cover the pot and steam for about 15 minutes; (the steaming time depends on the size of the crab)

8. When the crab is steamed, open the lid and pour cold water around the pot so that you can take out the hot crab as soon as possible to avoid being hurt by the hot steam.

9. Take out the crab shell;

10. Sprinkle ginger and garlic evenly on the hot crab noodles;

11.Sprinkle chopped green onion evenly;

12. Sprinkle the red pepper powder evenly;

13. Pour appropriate amount of peanut oil into the pot and heat it;

14. Pour the hot oil evenly on the crab, so that the minced garlic, ginger, shredded green onion and chili can release their fragrance and dissolve in the crab;

15. Then evenly pour appropriate amount of delicious soy sauce;

16.Finally, put the crab shell back in place and serve.

17. The picture below shows a particularly large crab that I bought later, weighing nearly 3 kilograms. The merchant said that such a large crab is rare, and a crab weighing more than 3 kilograms was bought by someone else the day before. There is a lot of crab meat, filling up the entire plate. The noodles have absorbed the nutritious and delicious crab juice. The whole plate of crab longevity noodles is super delicious! Ouch~ My mouth is watering
