Greetings food lovers,
It's @luckylaica again and today I'm sharing another simple way how to cook fresh mud crabs that I purchased from a neighbor with simple ingredients to cook.
Every time I come home to the province when I'm off from work, one of the best things I want to do is cook for the family and taste fresh homemade food. It was right when I got home that my neighbor got fresh crabs that were being peddled at a very affordable price so I didn't think twice because I haven't been cooking and eating them for several months since I started working in the city.
I was lucky to buy it because there was only one bag left by the seller. You can also see here that most of them are so fresh and alive that I had a hard time cleaning them. So the first thing I did was boil water to pour and kill them first before cleaning and preparing for cooking.
After I finished cleaning, I immediately cut them into pieces. This is how I cook crabs even though they are not very big because I really want the flavors to really penetrate inside.
And then I prepared the simple ingredients that I can simply buy in small stores here in my place and the small citrus fruits, I just asked for them from my neighbor too.
After I finished preparing everything, I started cooking them, I immediately seasoned them with salt, pepper, and citrus juice and boiled them until there was only a little bit of water, and I poured oil and added garlic and onion to saute them.
When they turned orange-red, I poured one cup of sprite soda and boiled them until the broth disappeared.
After a few minutes, it can be removed from the fire and served.
That and it's ready to eat now and for sure if you try this recipe you'll back up some extra rice for it 😋.
Now, this was my simple and cheap recipe this is what I really want when I come home here, I can eat fresh and more nutritious food because in the city there are many are selling them, but you can't be sure where they come from and how fresh they are and they're selling them very expensive.
I only get to make content sometimes because of my work, so thank you very much for taking the time to read this I appreciate it so much.
Stay safe friends and have a great day ahead!
