Fremgangsmåte

Trinn for trinn

1
Thoroughly clean the live or very fresh blue crabs under cold running water, scrubbing any dirt from their shells. Pat them completely dry with paper towels.
Omtrent 10 min
Kokkens tips: Ensure crabs are very fresh to avoid any off-flavors. If using frozen crabs, thaw them completely in the refrigerator before cleaning.
2
In a medium saucepan, combine the soy sauce, water, sugar, rice wine, sliced garlic, sliced ginger, korean dried chilies, roughly chopped green onion, sliced yellow onion, and sliced korean pear.
Omtrent 2 min
3
Bring the marinade mixture to a boil over medium-high heat, then reduce the heat to low and simmer for 10 minutes.
Omtrent 10 min
Kokkens tips: Simmering allows the flavors to meld and deepen.
4
Remove the saucepan from the heat and let the marinade cool completely to room temperature.
Omtrent 20 min
Kokkens tips: It's crucial that the marinade is fully cooled before adding the crabs to prevent cooking them.
5
Once cooled, strain the marinade through a fine-mesh sieve to remove all the solids. Discard the solids.
Omtrent 3 min
Kokkens tips: Straining creates a clear and clean marinade.
6
Place the cleaned and dried blue crabs into a clean, airtight container or a large glass jar.
Omtrent 1 min
7
Pour the strained, cooled marinade over the crabs, ensuring they are fully submerged. If needed, use a plate or a clean weight to keep the crabs submerged.
Omtrent 1 min
Kokkens tips: Full submersion is key for even marination and flavor absorption.
8
Seal the container and refrigerate for at least 24 hours, or up to 2-3 days for deeper flavor.
Omtrent 1 d
Kokkens tips: Marinating longer will result in a richer, more intense flavor. Turn the crabs occasionally if they are not fully submerged.
9
To serve, take the marinated crabs out of the container. You can cut the crabs into halves or quarters for easier eating.
Omtrent 1 min
10
Garnish with sliced cheongyang pepper, sliced red chili, sliced green onion, and toasted sesame seeds.
