Cooking Instructions
Step 1
First, prepare the vegetables for marinating. Thinly slice the onion. Remove the stems from the Korean green chili pepper and slice it diagonally. Slice the green onion diagonally, focusing on the white parts. Prepping the vegetables like this makes marinating easier.
Step 2
In a bowl, combine all the seasoning ingredients and mix well to create the delicious marinade. Add gochugaru, soy sauce, minced garlic, cooking wine, gochujang, oligodang, and sugar. Stir gently with a spoon until there are no lumps and the sauce is smooth. Taste the marinade and adjust the sweetness or spiciness to your preference.
Step 3
Place the cleaned raw crabs in a large bowl. Add the pre-sliced onion, green chili pepper, and green onion. Pour the generously prepared marinade over the ingredients. Now, gently mix everything with your hands. Be careful not to mash the crab meat by mixing too vigorously. The key is to gently combine to ensure the marinade coats the crab evenly.
Step 4
Finally, sprinkle a pinch of sesame seeds over the marinated crab to finish. The nutty aroma of sesame seeds will enhance the overall flavor. While it’s delicious to eat immediately, refrigerating it for about 30 minutes allows the flavors to meld deeper into the crab meat, making it even more delicious.
