I made Weird Korean Food for French Girl (raw marinated crab)

blue crabs

🥗Healthier: soft-shell crabs

💰Cheaper: crab sticks

Soft-shell crabs are lower in calories, while crab sticks are more affordable.

soy sauce

🥗Healthier: low-sodium soy sauce

💰Cheaper: tamari

Low-sodium soy sauce reduces sodium intake, while tamari is often cheaper.

sesame oil

🥗Healthier: olive oil

💰Cheaper: vegetable oil

Olive oil is healthier, while vegetable oil is a cost-effective alternative.

red pepper flakes

🥗Healthier: fresh chili

💰Cheaper: black pepper

Fresh chili adds flavor without the heat of red pepper flakes; black pepper is more economical.

Combine water, cooking wine, mirin, sugar, corn syrup, and soy sauce in a pot and bring to a boil.

Add the whole garlic to the boiling sauce.

Once boiled, transfer the sauce to a container and let it cool completely.

Chop the chili peppers, onion, and green onions.

Once the sauce has cooled, place the crabs in the container, shell-side down.

Add the chopped vegetables to the container.

Let it marinate for about two days, then enjoy with rice.
