Method
- 1 Choose fresh, live crabs, clean their shells and legs under running water, then let them drain.
- 2 Simmer soy sauce with water, sugar, sliced ginger, crushed garlic, onion, jujube, and pepper for 10 minutes.
- 3 Add soju to the pot, turn off the heat, and let the infusion cool completely for about 40 minutes.
- 4 Arrange the crabs shell-side down in a clean jar, pour in enough cool soy sauce to cover them completely, then seal tightly.
- 5 Refrigerate for 24 hours, draining the liquid halfway through, boiling it again, letting it cool, and pouring it back into the jar.
- 6 Cut the crab into pieces, garnish with sliced chili peppers and a few drops of lemon juice, and serve with hot rice.
