For a tasty and refreshing crab and gourd soup, follow these steps:

Ingredients:

Crab: 300g

Gourd: 1 small (approx. 300g)

Scallions: 2 stalks

Shallots: 1 bulb

Seasonings: Salt, MSG, fish sauce

Instructions:

Crab preparation: Clean and shell the crabs, separating the roe. Crush or blend the crab bodies and mix with water, straining the mixture to obtain crab broth and discarding the pulp.

Prepare other ingredients: Peel and slice the gourd thinly or into strips. Chop the shallots finely and cut the scallions into small pieces.

Cooking instructions: Heat oil in a pot and sauté the shallots. Add the crab broth and bring to a gentle boil. As the broth boils, the crab meat will start to coagulate. Gently add the gourd, seasoning to taste with salt, MSG, and fish sauce. When the gourd is tender, add the crab roe and scallions, giving it a quick stir before turning off the heat.

Serving suggestion: The crab and gourd soup has a natural sweetness from the crab and gourd, enhanced by the fragrant fried shallots. It’s best enjoyed hot with steamed rice.

Tip:

When making crab broth, avoid vigorous stirring to prevent breaking up the coagulated crab meat.

You can also add water spinach or spinach for extra flavor and nutrition.

We hope you enjoy this delicious and nutritious crab and gourd soup!
