Kim Dae-seok's Steamed Blue Crab

A clean and refined crab steaming recipe that removes the crab's internal fluid—responsible for fishy odor—and uses soy sauce and soju to eliminate any off-flavors.

Ingredients needed 3 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Medium-sized crabs are ideal—they have more flesh and better flavor than very large ones.
  • Always steam the crab with the back shell facing down; if the shell is up, the delicious organs and juices will leak out.
  • Be sure to squeeze out all the internal fluid with scissors—this prevents any fishy smell after steaming.

Recommended for

  • Those who want a clean, fishy-odor-free crab dish.
  • People curious about crab preparation techniques and how to eliminate fishy odors.
