Korean Soy Sauce Marinated Crab

Ingredients

• 2 medium fresh crabs cleaned
• 1 cup soy sauce
• 1/2 cup water
• 1/4 cup rice wine
• 1/4 cup sugar
• 5 cloves garlic sliced
• 1 inch ginger sliced
• 2 pieces red chili peppers sliced
• 1 stalk green onion cut into 1-inch pieces

Instructions

1. 1 Clean the crabs thoroughly by removing the gills and rinsing under cold water. Cut the crabs into manageable pieces, separating the claws and bodies.
2. 2 In a large bowl, combine soy sauce, water, rice wine, and sugar. Stir until the sugar is completely dissolved.
3. 3 Add the sliced garlic, ginger, red chili peppers, and green onion to the soy sauce mixture.
4. 4 Place the crab pieces into a large container or pot, ensuring they are evenly distributed.
5. 5 Pour the soy sauce mixture over the crabs, making sure all pieces are submerged. Use a plate to weigh down the crabs if necessary.
6. 6 Cover and refrigerate for at least 24 hours to allow the flavors to fully penetrate the crab meat.
7. 7 After marinating, remove the crabs from the refrigerator and let them come to room temperature before serving.
8. 8 Serve the marinated crabs with steamed rice and a side of kimchi for a complete Korean meal.
