Recipe

Use a rolling pin to press the cut swimming crabs and cleanly extract only the meat.
Mix the extracted crab meat and shredded imitation crab in a 1:1 ratio, then add black pepper, sugar, Miwon, salt, minced garlic, and 1 egg. Knead to form a dough.
In a bowl, beat the remaining eggs and lightly season with salt, black pepper, and minced garlic to prepare the egg wash.
Heat a generous amount of cooking oil in a pan, then pour in the prepared crab dough and egg wash, rolling and frying them together.
Once the outside is golden and the inside is cooked through and thick, remove from the pan and serve with chili sauce.

Mix crab meat and imitation crab with seasonings and egg to form a cohesive dough.
In a pan with plenty of oil, roll the dough with egg wash and fry until thick.
Once golden, plate and serve with chili sauce.

Cooking tips

If you use only crab meat, the dough may break apart during cooking, so adding imitation crab helps improve cohesion.
Using a generous amount of oil and frying the omelet helps it hold its shape well and enhances crispiness.
