Steps to Make Crab and Beef Hotpot:

Step 1:

First, peel the dry onions, chop them finely. Peel the ginger, rinse it and cut it into small threads. For the tomatoes, rinse them and cut them into wedges. As for the scallions and cilantro, pluck and rinse them, then chop them finely and put them in a bowl.

Step 2:

Next, pick the accompanying raw vegetables, soak them in diluted saltwater, then remove them to drain. As for the banana flowers, slice them thinly and soak them in water mixed with a little vinegar or lime juice to prevent browning.

Step 3:

After that, rinse the cartilage ribs, blanch them briefly. Then, stir-fry the ribs with ½ sliced purple onion and a spoonful of fish sauce to make them more flavorful, and then simmer them until tender.

Step 4:

Next, clean the wild crabs, peel them, and place the crab meat in a small bowl. Then, add a spoonful of salt and crush or grind the crabs and strain the liquid.

Afterwards, bring a pot of water to boil with a spoonful of soup powder, a spoonful of shrimp paste, stir well, and simmer with high heat. When the crab meat floats to the surface of the pot, reduce the heat, scoop out the crab roe and place it in a bowl.

Step 6:

Then, heat a pan with a spoonful of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add a few slices of dry onion and stir-fry until fragrant, then add the crab meat and a little fish sauce and stir-fry until cooked, then transfer to a bowl.

Step 7:

Next, rinse the beef, slice it thinly and marinate it with a little seasoning powder, cooking oil, and chopped ginger.

Step 8:

Add tomatoes to the pan to lightly stir-fry to create a colored broth for the hotpot. Cut the tofu into bite-sized pieces, pan-fry them until golden on all sides. Strain the shrimp paste with water and add it to the hotpot.

Step 9:

Finally, pour the crab broth into the hotpot, add the cartilage ribs, tomatoes, and shrimp paste, and bring to a boil. Season to taste once again and add the crab meat, crab roe, and fried tofu. After the hotpot boils, you can dip the ingredients in and enjoy them with fresh noodles.
