Steamed Eggs with Crab

Main course

Preparing crab is undoubtedly a complicated process. Growing up, my dad taught me how to handle the crab, with a lot of patience and earnestness. The memories are always remarkable, especially the hilarious scenes. I love to make this crab dish and appreciate the compliments that come with it.
