Ginger sauce for steamed crab

1 servings

Ingredients

Quantity Ingredient
1 Live Dungeness crab
½ cup Chopped fresh ginger
½ cup Mild vinegar
⅓ cup Light soy sauce
⅓ cup Sugar, or to taste

Directions

Now that it's crab season, try this Eastern Chinese dipping sauce, loaded with fresh ginger and vinegar.

Put the live crab in a steamer over rapidly boiling water; cover and steam for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients thoroughly until the sugar dissolves.

Divide sauce among 2 to 4 dip bowls, depending on the number of diners. Serve with the steamed crab.

NOTE: Chopped fresh coriander may be added, if desired.
