Drop 2 Dungeness crabs into boiling water in a large kettle or stockpot. Simmer about 10 minutes and drain. When crabs are cool enough to handle, break off claws andd extract meat with a small fork or pick. Pull off the top shell and break off the legs. Scrape away the gills and remove internal organs carefully. Pick out as much meat as you can find in the body and legs.From "Betty Crocker's New Chinese Cookbook."

Yield Makes 6 side-dish servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

1 pound Chinese broccoli (1 large bunch; sometimes called Chinese kale)
1 cup reduced-sodium chicken broth
2 teaspoons cornstarch
1 1/2 teaspoons Asian sesame oil
1 teaspoon sugar
3/4 teaspoon salt
1/8 teaspoon black pepper
4 1/2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine* or sake
4 1/2 teaspoons canola or corn oil
1/2 pound jumbo lump crabmeat, picked over and slightly flaked
3 tablespoons minced scallion (white part only)
2 tablespoons minced peeled fresh ginger
Special Equipment
a well-seasoned 14-inch flat-bottomed wok

Steps:

  • Peel broccoli stems with a vegetable peeler, then, keeping stems separate, cut stems, leaves, and florets diagonally into 1-inch pieces. Cook stem pieces in an 8-quart pot of (unsalted) boiling water 1 minute, then add leaves and florets and cook, stirring occasionally, until stems are crisp-tender, about 2 minutes more. Drain in a colander and rinse under cold running water to stop cooking. Drain broccoli well.
  • Stir together chicken broth, cornstarch, sesame oil, sugar, salt, pepper, and 2 1/2 tablespoons rice wine in a bowl until combined well.
  • Heat wok over high heat until a bead of water dropped onto cooking surface evaporates immediately. Add 2 1/4 teaspoons oil, swirling it around wok. Add crabmeat and stir-fry 30 seconds. Add remaining 2 tablespoons rice wine, then stir-fry 30 seconds more and transfer to a bowl.
  • Add remaining 2 1/4 teaspoons oil to wok and heat until it begins to smoke. Add scallion and ginger and stir-fry until fragrant, about 10 seconds. Stir sauce, then add to wok and simmer, stirring occasionally, until thickened, 1 to 2 minutes. Add broccoli and crabmeat, then toss lightly to combine and transfer to a platter. Serve immediately.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh Chinese broccoli: Look for broccoli with bright green florets and firm stems. Avoid any broccoli that is wilted or has yellowing leaves.
  • Prepare the broccoli properly: Cut the broccoli into 1-inch florets and blanch them in boiling water for 1-2 minutes. This will help to preserve the broccoli's鮮豔色彩 and crisp texture.
  • Use high-quality crabmeat: Fresh or frozen crabmeat can be used for this dish. If using frozen crabmeat, thaw it completely before using.
  • Don't overcook the crabmeat: Crabmeat cooks quickly, so be careful not to overcook it. Otherwise, it will become tough and rubbery.
  • Use a variety of seasonings: This dish can be seasoned with a variety of ingredients, such as ginger, garlic, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Feel free to adjust the seasonings to your own taste.

Conclusion:

Chinese broccoli with crabmeat is a delicious and healthy dish that is easy to make. It is a great way to enjoy the flavors of Chinese cuisine. This dish is perfect for a quick and easy weeknight meal or a special occasion. Serve it with rice or noodles, and enjoy!
