STEP 1/7
You can't cut live blue crabs right away, so you have to put them in cold tap water and faint them.
Ice water is good, tap water is good.
Shake off the sawdust, rinse it with water, soak it in cold water for 10 to 15 minutes, faint it, and prepare it.
STEP 2/7
Of course, you can cook crab with your legs still.
It's hard to eat crab legs anyway, so I'll cut them off and use them for broth after freezing them.
This is a tip on how to cut off the legs.
STEP 3/7
If you cut off the legs, it'll be easier to eat, and there'll be more space when you steam crabs, right?
Cut crab legs can be used for fish cake soup or soybean paste stew if used for broth.
STEP 4/7
The crab that cut off the legs takes out the poop.
If you open the triangular shape on the stomach and press it hard, impurities will come out.
Please do this process!
STEP 5/7
If you wash the crab without poop by rubbing it cleanly with a brush, you're done with preparing the crab.
It's simpler than you think, right?
STEP 6/7
Blue crab legs are also great for washing well, shaking off water, and freezing in an airtight container!
It'd be a waste if I just threw it away.
STEP 7/7
If you've followed the crab recipe well, you can cook it to your taste.
I ate steamed crab, seasoned crab, and made crab soup!
In autumn, the red bean paste is really savory and delicious, so bibimbap is also very delicious.
I taught you how to prepare blue crabs, so I'll teach you how to steam blue crabs and how to cook blue crab soup next time, so please look forward to it!
