Yoon Yi-ryeon's Soy Sauce Marinated Crab (Ganjang Gejang)

An authentic soy sauce marinated crab made by blending jin soy sauce and Joseon soy sauce for deep flavor, and repeatedly pouring boiled-then-cooled soy sauce mixture to eliminate any fishy smell.

Ingredients needed 8 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • Placing the crabs belly-side up prevents the delicious sauce and meat from leaking out.
  • If the soy sauce mixture is poured while hot, the crab meat will cook and become mushy, so it must be cooled completely before pouring.
  • For a more modern style, adjust the ratio of jin soy sauce to Joseon soy sauce to 3:1 or 2:1.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make homemade soy sauce marinated crab that is rich in savory flavor without any fishy smell.
  • Those who prefer a clean, not overly salty crab dish made with the traditional soy sauce boiling method.
  • Cooking beginners who want to create a deep-flavored soy sauce marinated crab using seasonal flower crabs.
