STEP 1/7
I have to clean the live crab first, so I'll put it in the freezer for about 15 minutes to faint. In the meantime, I'll cut the vegetables. The radish is not that big, so I'll cut it in half and cut it into 1cm thick pieces. Cut the cabbage into 2~4 pieces depending on the size and cut it at 2cm intervals. Cut green onions in half lengthwise and cut them at 4cm intervals. Lastly, roll up the perilla leaves to add the scent like a garnish and slice them into 0.5cm thick slices. And I'll cut the tofu into 1cm thick pieces and prepare it.
STEP 2/7
I'll make the sauce now. Add chili powder 2T, salted shrimp 1/2T, minced garlic 1T, pepper powder 1/2t, cooking wine 1T, soy sauce 2T and mix well. Salted shrimp has to be added to make it taste better.
STEP 3/7
Now it's time to prepare the crab. The blue crab I bought has a very hard shell. If the crab you want to trim is hard, put a sheath under the belly and open the scab. Be careful not to let the intestines run, remove the inner gills, and then trim the sharp points with scissors that may be too sharp and dangerous. Now cut it into 2~4 pieces according to the size of the crab to make it easier to eat.
STEP 4/7
Add 500mL of water and a pack of anchovy broth and boil it over medium heat for 10 minutes to complete the broth. I added the remaining green onion roots and used them for the broth.
STEP 5/7
Add chopped vegetables and blue crabs and pour the broth to boil. And when it boils a little bit, add the sauce and remove the impurities that came to mind. Lastly, if you put perilla leaves on it, the way to cook crab soup is complete.
