   Step 2

   Steam the first three items, along with the crab, for 15 minutes each time. When steaming the crab, place it shell-side down to prevent the crab roe from leaking out.

   Heat oil in a pan, then sauté chopped scallions, ginger, and garlic. Add chicken, cooking wine, soy sauce, and Korean chili paste, and stir-fry until fragrant.

(You can add water several times and bring to a boil to thicken the sauce.)
