ingredients

4 small fresh blue crabs
¼ cup Kikkoman® Sriracha Hot Chili Sauce
¼ cup Kikkoman® Soy Sauce
3 tablespoons gochujang
2 tablespoons gochugaru (Korean red chili flakes)
1 tablespoon Kikkoman® Rice Vinegar
1 tablespoon Kikkoman® Sesame Oil
1 tablespoon Kikkoman® Mirin
1 tablespoon sugar
½ tablespoon minced garlic
½ tablespoon minced ginger
2 green onions, finely chopped
½ small onion, thinly sliced
1 tablespoon sesame seeds
Additional chopped green onion and sesame seeds (optional garnish) 

 

 

directions

  1. Rinse crabs thoroughly under cold water. Remove the top shell, then cut each crab in half or quarters; drain well. 
  2.  To prepare marinade, combine the sriracha, soy sauce,  gochujang, gochugaru, rice vinegar, sesame oil, mirin, sugar, garlic, ginger and green onions in medium bowl. Mix well until the sugar dissolves. 
  3. Place the cleaned crab pieces in a large container with a lid. Pour the spicy marinade over the crab, making sure each piece is well-coated. Top with sliced onion and sprinkle with sesame seeds. 
  4. Cover the container and refrigerate the crabs for at least 12 hours, preferably overnight, to allow the flavors to penetrate the meat. 
  5. Serve the marinated crab cold, topped with extra sesame seeds and chopped green onions if desired.

THE STORY OF SOY SAUCE

Even people who love soy sauce and use it all the time are often surprised to learn what it is and how it’s made. We make ours from just four simple ingredients—water, soybeans, wheat, and salt. Those ingredients are transformed through a traditional brewing process—much like making wine or beer—that has remained unchanged for centuries.
