instructions
    1

    Begin by cleaning the blue crabs thoroughly under cold water to remove any impurities.

    2

    In a bowl, mix together the soy sauce, water, sugar, and sesame oil until the sugar dissolves.

    3

    Smash the garlic cloves and slice the ginger into thin pieces. Add them to the soy sauce mixture.

    4

    Place the cleaned crabs in a suitable container and pour the soy sauce mixture over them, ensuring they are fully submerged.

    5

    Cover the container tightly and marinate in the refrigerator for at least 30 minutes. If you have time, marinating for 2-4 hours will enhance the flavor.

    6

    Once marinated, remove the crabs and chop them into serving pieces.

    7

    Top with chopped green onion for garnish before serving.
