Crab Two Ways: steamed and crab roe with tofu stew

Don't you love Asian restaurants that take an item and executive it multiple ways? They were the original innovators!

So here's my version of crabs two ways: steamed then crab roe with tofu stew

Steamed is a favorite for purists, steamed until barely cooked. in some places the fresh is still like sashimi... not my cup of tea but then again I am a carnivore! :)



Crab roe with tofu stew is a widely popular Shanghainese dish. But ridiculously time consuming. The reason I steamed first is so I could pick out all the claw meat for the stew, but what truly made this dish amazing is the crab roe... so umami!!

Another weekend meal

Cold soba noodles is one of my favorite summer time meals. From the moment I first had it at Soba Totto, I was shocked how some simple noodles with a soy-based sauce can be so delicious!

Imagine my excitement when I found out I can make this at home! To serve with the soba, some cold cucumber salad (not pictured), baked chicken wings (I steam then bake to eliminate some of the grease), and steamed maryland crabs.

Simple. Light. Delicious. Happiness.
