This was freaking amazing. We watched the show and wanted to try. We used Dungeness crab and didn’t have mint. Otherwise we followed the recipe. We steamed the crab the day before and chilled it in the fridge overnight before piecing it out. We pre cracked most of the big joints and legs to the sauce would soak in. Lastly lots of scallions really add to the flavor. Like a full 1-2 cups. We then ate it with some lo-mein style egg noodles instead of rice. I can’t get over how easy and tasty this is. If we were to do it again we would double the liquid ingredients. The sauce was so good we wanted more.
