How to Make Korean Flower Crab Hot Soup

There are many ways to eat king crabs in Korean cuisine, and I particularly enjoy king crab hot soup.It is made using Korean chicken broth and seasonings, then simmered with fresh vegetables.

The main ingredients are:

One fresh king crab.

The side ingredients include:

100 grams of white radish,100 grams of zucchini, 100 grams of enoki mushrooms,half a large onion, 2 shiitake mushrooms,and one dried chili pepper. For the seasoning sauce:1 tablespoon of soy sauce, 1 spoon of garlic paste, 1 tablespoon of rice wine,2 tablespoons of red pepper powder, a little bit of Sichuan pepper powder, and 1 teaspoon of salt. Preparation steps:

1. After cleaning the king crab and cutting it in half, marinate it with the seasoning sauce ingredients.

　　Place the crabs and shell in a bowl. 2. Clean the enoki mushrooms, cut the onion into strips, slice the zucchini, white radish, shiitake mushrooms,and finely chop the green onions. Prepare 1 liter of sardine broth, one dried chili pepper.

Cooking steps:

1. Place the sliced zucchini and white radish, enoki mushrooms slices, sliced dried chili peppers, and marinated king crab in a sandpot.Pour in the sardine broth, bring to a boil over high heat, then reduce to low heat and simmer for some time.

2. After the king crab's freshness is released, add enoki mushrooms and green onion circles 2 minutes before serving.Adjust with salt or soy sauce according to personal taste. Additional tips:

Both sardine broth and the marinating sauce are salty, so no additional seasoning may be necessary.

If you prefer a saltier flavor, adjust appropriately.Enjoy this king crab hot soup with rice and Korean pickles,to achieve maximum satisfaction. Turn the heat to low and simmer for a while.

Cook until the flavor of the mud crab comes out, then you can prepare to serve. Add mushroom stems and scallion rings 2 minutes before serving, and add a little salt or soy sauce according to your taste.

Say a bit more:

The sardine broth and marinade for the mud crabs are already salty, so you don't need to add any additional seasoning. If you prefer a saltier taste, you can adjust accordingly. You can serve hot crab soup with rice and Korean kimchi, which will definitely make your meal very satisfying.
