What kind of soy sauce do you use?

[@Maangchi]

It's dark and a little sweet soy sauce called jin-ganjang in Korean. www.maangchi.com/ingredient/soy-sauce

[@Maangchi]

Thank you very much for your nice comments and messages as always! Love you all! ❤ English and Korean captions are available. 영어, 한국어 자막 올렸어요!

[@JaspherBaby]

I know how to make that may Korean ex boyfriend teach me i really like that so delicious 🤤

[@lyyang6772]

I love that your recipe is so simple and do-able.. i get so nervous wanting to make korean dishes because many other creators add in so many ingredients i cant find near me and i just say "forget it" but yours are so simple and give me hope. I will be trying this crab recipe very soon 🥰

[@josephsoto9933]

From 1971 to 2011 I lived 15 years in Korea. I always made note of restaurants thst had this spicey crab side dish.....my favorite. Sometimes our office would have lunches or afterhour dinners. I would recommend these same restaurants because I knew some of my coworkers didn't trust this dish......GOOD, PASS IT ME.

[@mizueeats5415]

Such delicious Spicy raw crab Thank you for sharing the great recipe

Where to buy Korean raw crabs ? Thanks😊

[@dannamadura2035]

In my country,if a crab isn't alive when you buy it,it isn't fresh. Those crabs are so nice and fat! I love yangnyeom chicken so I'll try this gejang. I love to cook Singaporean chili crab. BTW Maangchi, love the red lipstick! 🥰

[@제정은-f7j]

Same in Korea! Once seafood is dead, its price drops immensely because it's deemed not fresh.

[@kys2761]

I used to think the same until I really saw how inhumane it was eating live animals and boiling them alive, but I will say fresh does taste better

[@ljy2003yanyan]

I love this kind of Crab!! Thank you for sharing. There is a restaurant in ktown LA I always go to they have it. But I moved too far away from that place. Will try to make it myself 🎉

[@crabmansteve6844]

I've gone through the trouble of removing all of the meat from the shell and marinating it that way to make it more approachable to first timers, but removing all the meat is *extremely* tedious and daunting. Now I just make sure they know well ahead of time its a messy dish to eat and serve it in the shell the classic way

[@foodiekr3820]

very nice sharing 😊😊😊😊 amazing recipe 😍😍😍😍 thanks for sharing 👍

[@aeolia80]

My first time eating out with a bunch of Koreans in Korea was at a seafood place in Yeosu, and marinated raw crap was served. I must admit I was weirded out by it. I tried it, not bad, though I wasn't fond of the texture. But when I told my friends and family here in France about it they were super weirded out, and I'm like, seriously!!! hahhahaha, because French people eat some weird shit sometimes, lol. The next time I had crap in Korea was in Pohang right on the sea, and it was cooked and while it was good, the best was at the end when the cooks took all the leftover bodies of the craps and mixed the insides with rice and seasoning and cooked it, oh man was that good

[@janelee13]

Hi Maangchi, thank you so much for posting this recipe! My husband and I both love yangnyum gejang so much and have always been intimidated to make it ourselves, but you make it look so easy! The most delicious gejang we ever had was at Kkottol Gejang 1beonga in your beautiful home town of Yeosu. We experienced the best food there! Gejang is also one of my mom’s favorite foods, but she doesn’t eat it as often after her dentist reprimanded her for chipping her tooth on one. 😆 She told me that Koreans prefer to make soy gejang with female crabs because you get more of a “pure” flavor with the roe, whereas male crabs are generally used for yangnyum gejang. I’m not sure if that’s true, but I did notice more crabs with roe in the soy marinated version. Either way, thank you for another amazing video. I hope your family realizes how incredibly lucky they are to have you! We all are! 😊❤

[@제정은-f7j]

Catching female crabs is outlawed in Korea to let the species reproduce sustainably, so we've always had male crabs. Wonder if female crabs do have a difference 👀

[@janelee13]

@@제정은-f7j That’s interesting and good to know (and yes, much better for sustainability). There were markets and restaurants serving female crabs in Seoul and along the southern coast when we visited last year, so they must’ve been doing so illegally. 😬 Thanks for the info!

[@GF2445]

Such a delicious looking recipe. Can you teach us how to do raw marinated prawns?

[@제정은-f7j]

The marinade is similar to ganjang-gejang. Just replace the crab with prawns. Make sure they're VERY fresh!

[@제정은-f7j]

I forgot to add - remember to drain and boil the brine the day after marinating. Let it cool thoroughly and pour it back on top of the prawns. This step is to kill any remaining bacteria.

[@MyHam-os4bq]

when I stayed with a homestay family in korea, they took me to a restaurant and had me try this without telling me what it was first. they were whispering to each other suspiciously but I ate it and to their surprise, I did not freak out after they told me it was raw crab. they stared at me blankly because it was supposed to be a little prank. joke's on them, though. I loved it! they were so sweet

may i know why do you wash the head and crabs after cutting? wont the flavor and juice be wasted? can u clean and wash b4 cutting?

Of course, at first, I wash the crab with a kitchen brush, but after removing the shell, I also need to remove the gills and other dirty, muddy substances near the gills. I rinse them off under running water.
