Refreshing steamed crab with bean sprouts

This is the steamed crab I made and ate tonight. Even though it's crab season, reasonably priced crabs were nowhere to be found at the market. 😞

However, I made it with frozen crabs instead. Being frozen, it couldn't quite match the taste of fresh, leg-packed crabs,

But it was still enough to eat a delicious meal.

Here's a really simple steamed crab recipe!

A. Ingredients

1 pack of frozen crab (16,000 won) Bean sprouts (2,300 won worth) Onions, green onions, water parsley in small amounts 1 red pepper, 1 green pepper each Sesame seeds, minced ginger, minced garlic, green onions Soy sauce, red pepper powder Sesame oil, cooking oil

B. Recipe

  1. Steaming bean sprouts Put oil in a pot and add bean sprouts, onions, minced garlic and ginger, green onions, red pepper powder, and crab. Cover and steam.

(Do not season the bean sprouts before cooking. Why? Because seasoning them beforehand will cause them to become pickled. The bean sprouts will lose their moisture and become thin and tough. Season them after they are cooked!)

  1. Mix The bean sprouts will smell cooked and the crabs will turn red as they cook. If you wait a little while, the crabs will start to cook and give off a delicious smell.

Open the lid, add about 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, black pepper, and green onions (about 3-4 cm long), and mix while turning on the heat.

You can add more red pepper powder if necessary.

  1. Finally, Add sesame oil, mix, place in a bowl, and sprinkle with sesame seeds. Add sesame oil at the very end so that the flavor doesn't disappear, and don't add too much.


"I hope you all have a happy time enjoying a delicious dinner!"
