Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Marinating the pumpkin in anchovy sauce and shrimp paste beforehand enhances its sweetness and umami while preventing it from falling apart during cooking.
  • Do not discard the crab shells—simmer them with the stew to draw out a rich, refreshing oceanic broth.
  • Adding 1 spoon of sesame oil at the end helps neutralize the crab’s natural fishy aroma, leaving a clean, balanced finish.

Recommended for

  • Those seeking a hearty, rustic stew with a rich, slightly spicy, and sweet flavor profile.
  • Home cooks who want to preserve the shape of pumpkin in dishes and prevent the broth from becoming cloudy.
  • Food lovers eager to experience the perfect umami harmony of fresh autumn crab and aged pumpkin.
