The best tasting dungeness crab I have had was at Fisherman’s Wharf in San Francisco and Pike Market in Seattle. Unfortunately, I am quite far from the Pacific Coast.

Luckily, pre-cooked crabs are available at Costco! And when I have no time to spare, I eat the crabs as is.

Today I will show you a way to cook crabs, another way.

Ingredients:

Prepare the crabs:

Separate the back from the crab. Remove all unedible portions of the crab. Separate the legs from the body. Cut the body into 2 parts, or 4 parts.

Let's get cooking!

Saute the ginger and the white portions of the onions for a minute. And add the green onions.

Add the cooking wine and allow to boil off the wine, about 2 minutes. Then add two cups of broth (or 2 cups water +1 bullion cube). Bring to a boil.

Add the crabs, and cover. Cook for 10 minutes.

Season with salt (if necessary) and pepper, and cook for 3 minutes more. Then thicken with cornstarch slurry until the desired consistency of the sauce is reached.

Do you like crabs? How do you want it prepared?
