Main Ingredients- 1 Live Snow Crab (approx. 1kg)
- 1/2 cup Soju or Rice Wine (to remove any fishy odor)
Cooking Instructions
Step 1
Thoroughly clean the live snow crab. Use a clean brush or a soft scrubber to scrub the entire shell of the crab, paying close attention to the legs and any rough areas on the body to remove any dirt or impurities.
Step 2
Prepare your steamer. Fill the bottom of the steamer with plenty of water and add 1/2 cup of soju or rice wine to help eliminate any potential fishy smell from the crab. Bring the water to a boil and wait until it produces a strong, consistent steam.
Step 3
Once the steam is robust, carefully place the cleaned snow crab into the steamer. An important tip for steaming crab is to place it with its belly facing upwards and its back facing downwards. This orientation helps to retain the crab’s natural juices and rich flavor within the shell, ensuring a moist and succulent result. Cover the steamer and cook over medium heat for approximately 30 to 40 minutes. The exact cooking time may vary depending on the size of the crab. To check for doneness, insert a chopstick into the thickest part of the crab’s body; if clear liquid comes out, it’s fully cooked.
