Cooking tips

  • Do not overcook the flower crab, as the meat will lose moisture and become dry; cook for about 15 minutes to retain its natural sweetness and soft texture.
  • When cutting the crab, insert scissors or knife from the hard shell side toward the softer meat side to avoid crushing the flesh and ensure clean cuts.
  • The yellow foam that appears during cooking comes from the crab’s internal organs and contributes to flavor—remove only surface impurities, not all of it.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make authentic, fail-proof flower crab soup at home with a refreshing and deep flavor.
  • People curious about the ideal timing to preserve the chewy texture and natural sweetness of crab meat.
  • Anyone seeking a savory, umami-packed broth enhanced with clams.
