As a Fujianese, I love crabs so much and my family eats a lot of crabs each year. Now it is the season for crab. Steam will be the easiest way to cook them, but I prefer them with more flavor, so this ginger and scallion crab is my favor.

Half dozen live crabs

5  slices ginger (shredded)

4 whole scallion (shredded)

1/4 cup corn starch

Open up crabs’ shells, then cut them into halves, clean them.

Add a few pinches of salt, add corn starch and make sure they are all thinly coated.

Deep fry crabs in hot oil for about 4 minutes ( adjust the cooking time depend on the size of the crabs)

Leave a little bit of oil in the cooking pan, add ginger and scallion and stir fry for 2 minutes.

Add the fried crabs, 1/3 tsp white pepper, 1/3 tsp black pepper, and one tbsp cooking wine and mix well.

半打活蟹

5片姜切丝

4条葱切丝

1/4杯淀粉

螃蟹去壳后对半切开，去腮洗净

加一点盐后加入淀粉拌匀

放入热油中炸大概4 分钟（看蟹的大小调时间）

锅中剩一点底油，加入葱姜炒2分钟

加入螃蟹，黑白胡椒粉各1/3茶勺，一大勺的料酒，炒匀。
