Key Points to Note:
❖ Ensure rapid removal of ingredients from the boiling water to prevent overcooking and maintain their freshness and texture.
❖ When mixing the rice with the ingredients, ensure even distribution of seasonings so that each bite offers a blend of flavors.
❖ Monitor the steaming time carefully to maintain the freshness of the crab and the soft, sticky texture of the rice.
❖ Drizzling Shaoxing wine at the end is crucial for enhancing the aroma and should not be omitted.
