Crab Roe Noodles, Homemade Crab Roe Sauce That Beats All Restaurants!

Crab Roe Noodles, Homemade Crab Roe Sauce That Beats All Restaurants!
Crab roe noodles are delicious no matter what! However, the portion of store-bought crab roe noodles is definitely not as satisfying as homemade ones. Moreover, the crab roe at restaurants is usually very finely chopped. I specifically kept mine in large chunks, which makes me feel so happy~ Actually, this dish is really simple. You don't need a variety of seasonings, just the process of peeling crabs. It's true, it's hard to put into words. I suggest finding several movies in advance and peeling crabs while watching them. I watched two movies. The recipe uses ten female crabs, each weighing 2-2.5 taels. Be sure to use female crabs with more roe.

Materials

light soy sauce 2.5 tablespoons
scallions some
lard
water starch

How To Make

  1. Clean the crabs without removing the rope. Bring water to a boil and steam the crabs for about 15 minutes until cooked. Open the lid and let them cool slightly to avoid burning your hands.

  2. I only used these two tools. Scissors are mainly used to cut the legs, and most importantly, this fork is incredibly useful. Remember to buy it in advance because you can't do it with your bare hands or by biting it with your teeth~

  3. After finishing, it took me three hours. Although I watched movies, I was listening to the sound throughout the process and didn't have time to look up 😂. The peeling process needs to be experienced slowly.

  4. Put an appropriate amount of lard in the pot, a little more is fine. It smells great. Here's a tip: you can only use lard, not other oils. Remember, otherwise the effort of peeling the crab meat will be wasted. Remember! Add ginger and scallion segments to the pot and fry until fragrant over low heat throughout the process.

  7. Pour in water starch, stir-fry over low heat until thickened into a slightly thickened soup, sprinkle with scallions, and it's done! It's so simple! Taste it first, and if it's too bland, add some light soy sauce. No need to add salt, just add more water starch if it's not salty enough.

  8. In another pot, cook the noodles. After the water boils, add the noodles. I specifically bought fresh thin noodles for better texture. I don't recommend using instant noodles. After cooking the noodles, remember to rinse them with cold purified water to prevent them from sticking together and affecting the texture. Drain the noodles and place them in a bowl, then pour the freshly made crab roe sauce over them.
