The egg sack of the crab and the innards are delicious! This is something I always make during winter. Boiled king crab is also delicious, but I absolutely think this broth is much more of a treat. Even though they are rather thin, the trunk and legs are both loaded with succulent juices.

Please use fresh live crab. You will not get succulent juices from boiled crab. You don't need to add dashi stock, but if you feel the flavor is not to your taste, then add it. If you have leftover broth, try adding to rice porridge. The broth will transform into yet another delicious dish! For serving 2. Recipe by tomimo

Steps

1

Julienne the daikon radish.
2

Now we will handle the crab. Turn them over and remove the underbelly (This is also edible).
3

Next, press down on the stomach meat with your left hand, and pull of the right legs of the crab with your right hand. Remove the rest from the shell in the same manner with your left hand.
4

The brown parts attached to the legs (gills?) are edible, so remove. You can use the juices inside the shell as is instead of throwing it out. After this point, nothing else is discarded.
5

Put the daikon radish from step 1 and the entire crab into the pot (you should put the crab shell facing up), fill the pot nearly to the top with water, and turn on the heat after adding the water. You want to bring out the savory juices, make sure to bring it to a boil using cold water.
6

Simmer for about 15 minutes on high heat after bring it to a boil. Lastly, add miso and serve.
