Hello, Amanda here!
Today, I'll cook with a recipe that I recommended by one of my friends
It's called 'Steamed Meat Crab' so I though meat crab was a sort of crabs
But it was because we have to cook
with both crab and meat
Today's main ingredients are chicken feet, crab, and shrimps
Let's start by cleaning the ingredients
First, remove the toes from the chicken feet
and cut it in the center
Next, trim the shrimps
For the shrimps
you have to remove the antenna
Next, the crab
Remove this part
and the shell
to clean the inside of the crab
divide the body of the crab into a few pieces
and trim out the sharp part from its arms
to make it easier to eat
Cut the claws into a few pieces, too
But don't throw out the carapace part
Usually people cook it with potatoes and bean sprouts
but I'll put beans today
There are lots of different beans in the market these days
and I love beans, too
Not a long time ago
I read a book called
'A Balanced Meal'
and I really liked the stories
of beans in the book
Italian people love their beans
According to the book, in summertime,
Italian families usually gather together
and talk to each other while having beans
Peel the beans
and if you have enough time, remove the soft skin, too
By doing this, you can get a much better texture
Next, I'll boil the chicken feet
While doing this, grease your pan
with a lot of cooking oil
and stir-fry
cinnamon, star anises, garlic, ginger, pepper, and dried chili
If you can smell
the scents from the spices,
then it's time to stir-fry
the boiled chicken feet
While doing this
make some space on the center of the pan
and put some Doubanjiang sauce
and some sugar
Stir-fry it until you see the oil starts to turn red
When the oil is red
put some cooking wine, salt, and hot water
Boil it in high heat at first
and pour it in a different pot
and boil it again in low heat
This pot
is a customized pot
Grease the pan again
and stir-fry the shrimps
Apply some starch powder on the surface of the crab
and stir-fry it
I boiled the chicken feet for about 30 mins
Open up the lid
and scoop out the oil and spices
on the surface
It will make it much better to have
It's not going to be greasy
because we just removed the spices
and oil
Next, put the potatoes
Chop the potatoes into big pieces
and boil them for 8 to 10 mins
I'll season it
aged soy sauce
oyster sauce
I'll put a lot of oyster sauce
because the savoriness of the oyster sauce is important
I also made this oyster sauce
It's really fresh and deep (advertisement lol)
and some white pepper powder
rice cakes
beans
put the shrimps and crab, too
I'll decorate it with the crab shell
It's looks delicious, isn't it?
Wait a couple of mins with the lid on
After 5 to 8 mins
The crab is now red
and the soup is also thickened
All the ingredients are
in harmony
Put some red oil
to make it even more delicious
and sprinkle some spring onions at last
The harmony of
chicken feet, crab, shrimps
oyster sauce
and spices
You don't need a word for this
I hope you guys like it, too
