What are the precautions for eating hairy crabs in winter? Traditional Chinese medicine believes that crab can strengthen the kidney, muscles and bones, but it is cold. Therefore, pregnant women, infants and people with weak constitution and weak spleen and stomach should not eat more. If you want to enjoy the delicious crab healthily, you'd better prepare three kinds -- perilla, vinegar and ginger tea. For many old diners who are familiar with the way of tasting crab, these three kinds are as essential as eight pieces of crab.
The best cooking method for autumn crabs, especially hairy crabs, is steaming. When steaming, put a few pieces of Perilla at the tail of the crab. The purpose of this is to dispel fishy smell, sterilize and dispel cold. Because the crab lives on microorganisms and rotten food, there is dirt in the gills and gastrointestinal tract, and the crab stomach is commonly known as the 'excrement bag'. Fresh perilla is not only a herb, but also a kind of traditional Chinese medicine. It can not only dispel the fishy smell of crab, but also promote qi, broaden Chinese medicine and disperse cold. Crab is rich in heterogeneous protein. It is easy to itch, wind mass and papules due to allergy after eating. Eating perilla leaves after eating crab can detoxify crab poison.
Steamed crab is original. It should be served with crab vinegar, which is made of aged vinegar, soy sauce and scallion. Crabs are high in protein and cholesterol. They are difficult to digest after eating. They are prone to abdominal distension and pain. In addition to seasoning, crab vinegar also has the effects of disinfection, sterilization and digestion. After eating crabs, you can't help but have another cup of steaming ginger tea, which can be regarded as a perfect end to the human delicacy of autumn crabs. Ginger tea is easy to make. Chop ginger, put brown sugar and boil for 5 minutes. You can also put a small amount of Perilla in ginger tea. Ginger tea warms the stomach, regulates Qi and can 'neutralize' the cold poison of crab.
Experts warned that although the crab is delicious, it should not eat too much every time. After eating the crab, don't eat cold raw and cold fruits such as persimmon, cantaloupe and Sydney, so as not to help the cold hurt the stomach.
