Snow Crab in a Delicious Broth

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
