Soy Sauce Marinated Raw Crab Delicacy

Thoroughly clean the crabs under cold running water using a brush. Remove any impurities and carefully drain them. Place them in a clean, sterilized container.

In a pot, combine soy sauce, water, sugar, mirin, sliced garlic, sliced ginger, chopped Korean radish, and dried kelp. Bring the mixture to a boil over medium heat, then reduce heat and simmer for 10 minutes.

Remove the pot from heat and let the marinade cool completely to room temperature. This is a critical step to ensure the crabs do not cook.

Once the marinade is completely cool, remove the dried kelp and ginger slices. Pour the cooled marinade over the cleaned crabs in the container, ensuring they are fully submerged. Add the sliced green and red chili peppers.

Cover the container tightly and refrigerate for at least 2-3 days. For deeper flavor, marinate for up to 4 days, turning the crabs once daily to ensure even marination.

To serve, take out the marinated crabs, cut them into manageable pieces, and arrange on a plate. Garnish with a sprinkle of sesame seeds. Enjoy with warm rice.
