"Get your tools ready, and we'll start scrubbing the crabs."
There's not much to it, really. Just grab a brush with somewhat stiff bristles and do your best to clean the joints and the areas around the claws.
"Be careful during this step so you don't get pinched by the claws. For my more clumsy viewers, I'd suggest leaving the ties on the claws after you receive your delivery. It'll be much safer that way."
"Alright, once the crabs are clean, we'll place them directly onto the steamer rack."
Since this was for a group order, the portion size was rather large. Jiang Qiuqiu's steamer was quite big, with three tiers. Each tier could hold six crabs, so she steamed eighteen all at once.
"Once the crabs are in place, we'll cut a piece of ginger."
Ginger was also available for purchase directly from Taobao Food. You could either smash it or slice it. "Since slicing can be a bit tricky, I'll just show you how to smash it."
SMASH.
