last sunday..my mummy bought live crabs during her grocery shopping..and cooked chilli crabs!! yummy!!!!!
rem i said before that my mother goes grocery shopping every sunday morning..last sunday..i got suspicious when her grocery bags kept making noise..erm..because it was made of plastic and there was the sound of plastic moving..i peered into the bag and saw four crabs staring back at me..all tied up! poor things....
okay..the five steps of cooking crabs.....as explained by agnes!
step 1: release the crab from the plastic bag....
although they are tied up..please remember that they have eight other legs that can move..
step 2: put them in a pot of water to bathe them..
so cute right? they are back swimming in the water..you got to use a brush the sand off their bodies.....
step 3: replace the water with salt water..(to make salt water..mix salt and water). my ma says this to get rid of the salt in the crabs..no idea why...some osmosis theory? too lazy to figure it out..
look! the water is getting murky..all the salts in their bodies are coming out...but the funny thing is that alot of bubbles are formed by them...
step 4: kill them!!! if you are afraid to chop them when they are alive..just place them in the freezer and freeze them..brrr....take them out after 30 mins and use a chopper to cut the middle of their underside to break their main nerve or something like that..clean their innards and chop them up to suitable sizes..
step 5: pour in chilli sauce (special kind to cook crabs sold at supermarkets) and ginger and the chopped-up crabs into the wok and fry fry fry!
there..you go..crabbies!! fresh and hot and delicious!
