How to steam crabs correctly?

【Ingredients】: Crab, ginger, pepper

【Specific steps】:

1. When buying crabs, make sure they are alive and kicking. Never buy dead crabs for the sake of cheapness, because for seafood, bacteria multiply very quickly. Everyone must remember this: it is better not to eat crabs than to buy dead crabs. Scrub the crabs clean with a toothbrush.

2. Add clean water to the steamer, sprinkle some ginger slices on the steaming grate, and throw in some peppercorns (be careful not to let the peppercorns leak out). Both of these are used to remove the fishy smell of crabs.

3. Arrange the crabs one by one with their bellies facing upwards to prevent the crab roe from flowing out. Many people make this mistake, so be sure to pay attention next time you steam crabs.

4. Then you can add some ginger slices and place them on the crab's belly, cover the pot, and continue steaming after the water boils until the crab is cooked. Specifically, the steaming time depends on the size of the crab. Generally, steaming the crab for about 12-15 minutes after the water boils can kill the parasites in the crab. However, if the crab is larger than 150 grams, it will need to be steamed for three or four minutes longer. We must ensure that the crabs are fresh and clean when eaten.

5. The crabs are now steamed, eat them quickly! Live crabs will have their legs fall off after being steamed, but dead crabs will not have this phenomenon.

Crabs contain a large amount of high-quality protein and amino acids, which can increase the immunity of lymphocytes, promote wound healing, and resist infection. Therefore, people who have undergone surgery or are injured should eat more crabs. Furthermore, eating more crabs can prevent tumors, fight tuberculosis, and clear away heat and detoxify. These health benefits should not be underestimated.
