Taking advantage of the weekend, I went to the vegetable market with my fellow tenants to buy 30 pounds of crayfish, which can be said to be quite addictive. Today, let’s share with everyone Li Xiaochef’s best spicy crayfish! PS: Because the amount of ingredients used this time is based on 30 kilograms of crayfish, it’s okay for each little chef to make their own recipe according to their own crayfish quantity during the production process~

Taking advantage of the weekend, I went to the vegetable market with my fellow tenants to buy 30 pounds of crayfish, which can be said to be quite addictive. Today, let's share with everyone Li Xiaochef's best spicy crayfish
Equipment

- 1 pot
Ingredients
Ingredients
- 30 catties crayfish
- Appropriate amount Chives
- Appropriate amount ginger

- Appropriate amount cinnamon
- Appropriate amount star anise
- Appropriate amount Fragrant leaves

- Appropriate amount crystal sugar
- Appropriate amount lotus root
- Appropriate amount Green pepper

Instructions
- Prepare a piece of red oil hot pot base.
- Wash the onion, ginger, garlic, millet pepper, and green pepper and cut them up for later use.
- Wash the basil and set aside.

- Then start seasoning, add the appropriate amount of light soy sauce, dark soy sauce, oyster sauce, a little rock sugar, prepared perilla, bay leaves, cinnamon, and star anise. Kitchen friends who like to eat lotus root sticks can add some lotus root sticks to increase the flavor of lobster. Then cook on low heat for 10-15 minutes.
- After ten minutes, turn on the fire to collect the juice. At the same time, sprinkle an appropriate amount of chicken essence, and pour in the prepared water starch to thicken the sauce, in order to make the soup thicker. Then sprinkle with shallots and white sesame seeds, and it can be served on a plate.
- Doesn’t it look delicious~~~
- Another picture of the result hehe~
Notes
Crayfish must be washed several times before they can be thoroughly washed. 2. The shrimp head contains heavy metals, so it cannot be used. 3. Shrimp lines and gills must be removed. 4. Lobster is a cool food, so in the cooking process, you can add some ginger to neutralize the coolness.
