Kim Dae-seok's Secret Soy Sauce Crab

Recipe 🍳

Cooking tips 💡

• Never immerse live crabs directly into soy sauce, as osmotic pressure can cause the meat to dissolve and become mushy. Always freeze the crabs for 5 hours first, then add the cooled brine to keep the meat firm.
• For enhanced flavor, strongly recommend adding a few drops of minced chili pepper, chopped scallions, and sesame oil when eating the soy sauce crab.
• To avoid wasting the brine, finish the first batch of 4 crabs, then reboil the remaining brine, cool it, and use it to marinate the other 3 crabs stored separately—enjoying two batches efficiently.
