煮食記

在Pooler買藍蟹才8美元就有9隻藍蟹，和香港的價格差不多，但是蟹膏比香港賣的多很多！我用了幾隻去做薑蔥炒蟹，這次就用了餘下的做蒸蟹飯，完全不會浪費這麼多蟹膏。

In Pooler, I bought 9 blue crabs with 8 USD, it’s similar price compare to HK, but the crab roe here are much more than HK one, I have used some to make Ginger and Scallion Fried Crab and I use the rest to make Steam Crab Rice, it won’t waste the crab roe.
