Chinese loves adding Flower Crabs when making Steamboat as the meat is really sweet. Steaming it in a distinct sauce is also one of the most common methods of cooking this crab.
When choosing crab, get one with roes for tastier soup base.
Wash crab thoroughly. Remove crab legs by twisting & pulling them off. Loosen shell by lifting it, then turning crab over to remove shell by peeling it apart from body as shown in pix .
Dispose gills from body. Rinse crab.
Crack the legs.
Cut off roots from Enoki & set aside.
Heat stock & add crabs. Simmer for about 10 mins. Over-cooking will turn meat tough.
Add Enoki, Spring Onion, Milk, seasonings & stir well. Lastly, add wine to your aromatic soup & you’re ready to serve your tasty dish!
