Ingredients needed 6 servings

Recipe

Cooking tips

  • The soy sauce mixture for marinating must be poured only after it has cooled completely; otherwise, the crab meat may become mushy or develop a fishy taste.
  • Rock crabs can have a stronger fishy smell than blue crabs, so be sure to add bay leaves and licorice root to neutralize the odor and impart a subtle sweetness.
  • Before serving, lightly crack the hard claws with the back of a knife or scissors to make it much easier to extract the meat.

Recommended for

  • Those who want to make restaurant-style soy-marinated crab with a deep, savory flavor that is not too salty and clings pleasantly to the palate.
  • Those who want to fully enjoy the chewy, clean flavor of firm, meaty rock crab.
