Hairy crabs are best enjoyed steamed, a method known as “steamed crab.” This cooking style helps preserve the crab’s moisture. It’s not your typical steamed preparation — hairy crabs must be boiled in cold water. Otherwise, the sudden heat will cause them to struggle, leading to broken legs and loss of crab roe. Whole crabs must be tied securely before being placed in boiling water. Of course, it’s best to add a little ginger, scallion, perilla, and Shaoxing wine to the boiling water. When eating steamed hairy crabs, it’s ideal to have a side of aged vinegar for dipping. This enhances the flavor of the crab meat and aids digestion, making it the perfect accompaniment to steamed crabs. Chef Luo also mentioned that although crabs are particularly expensive in autumn, there has been a significant increase in customers ordering “steamed crabs” since early September. In fact, steaming crabs is very simple — just place the selected crabs on a steaming tray, surround them with some cilantro to remove any fishy taste, and steam them directly over high heat in a pot.

Tussah silkmoths, also known as oak silkworms, are one of the famous specialties of Liaoning Province. They belong to the phylum Arthropoda, class Insecta, order Lepidoptera, and family Saturniidae.

From the Liaodong Peninsula in the east to the mountainous areas of western Liaoning, natural silkworm breeding grounds are found throughout Liaoning Province.

Rice kernels, also known as Job's tears kernels or Yi kernels, are the seeds of the plant Coix lacryma-jobi, which belongs to the grass family. Both the seeds and roots have medicinal properties, and because the plant resembles corn in appearance, some growing regions also refer to Job's tears as "medicinal corn." The Job's tears kernels produced in the mountainous areas of eastern Liaoning and the northern plains, though not abundant in quantity, are of exceptional quality, and are renowned as the "Rice Kernels from Beyond the Great Wall." They are considered one of Liaoning’s local specialty products. These rice kernels are plump, white, and clean in appearance, with a soft and glutinous texture when eaten.
