聽到鹽焗通常都會覺得要好多準備功夫,係屋企好難整到,岩岩相反,其實鹽焗奄仔蟹好容易整,不過要煮得好都有要注意既地方。
Speaking of salt baking we may imagine that there are loads of things to be prepared and it will be clumsy to make that at home. In contrary, it’s very easy to make. Yet there are some areas to look into if we want to make it good.
鹽焗奄仔蟹 Salt Baked Virgin Crabs

奄仔蟹係未交配過既蟹,特點係蟹膏軟糯甘香,好適合用黎鹽焗。鹽焗食落似燒烤味,咸咸香香加上本身海鮮既鮮味,正!
A virgin crab is literally a crab that has not engaged in intercourse. The character of it is the brown meat being tender and buttery which is ideal for salt baking. A salt baked crab tastes like a grilled one but with stronger savory flavour. Yummy!

同膏蟹橙橙實實既膏唔同,奄仔蟹既膏好軟糯綿滑
Instead of having firm brown meat like a mud crab, a virgin crab has softer and silkier brown meat

街市賣緊$50隻
蟹要洗洗佢,最緊要揭一揭開塊奄,洗乾淨入面藏左既污糟野
We bought them at HK$50/ crab.
Rinse the crabs and most importantly flip their aprons and rinse the inside thoroughly as normally it’s quite dirty there

洗乾淨就放入冰格10分鐘雪暈佢
After that put them into a freezer for 10 mins to make them fainted

雜貨鋪買左兩包粗鹽
We bought 2 packs of crude salt from grocery store

將鹽溝埋孜然粉同月桂葉,開中火
Mix a handful of cumin powder and bay leaves with the salt and cook on medium heat

炒炒炒
到佢有d啡色就ok
Just stir and cook it until it turns brown

拎返d蟹出黎,拆繩
Take the crabs out, remove the threads

放佢地入鹽入面,面頭再蓋d鹽
冚蓋,中火焗5分鐘,再轉細火焗多10分鐘
Bed them upside down on the salt. Cover the bottom of the crabs with some salt as well
Close the lid, medium heat on for 5 mins, then switch to low heat for another 10 mins

有一隻郁到斷左腳,流左d膏出黎
後尾同網友研究,知道放入冷格都唔係好辦法,最好係煮之前放係清水浸死佢先去焗,又或者好似我地另一次整牛油鹽焗奄仔蟹咁,用筷子殺死蟹先都得
A crab broke its leg during struggling… cry….
After discussing with friends, we came to realize that putting crabs in freezer isn’t really a reliable method. Next time we should simply put them in tap water for killing them before cooking

我地另一次用簡單少鹽方法整既牛油鹽焗奄仔蟹都好正!
We tried another version with less salt. Check that out!
