How to prepare Crab Noodle Soup with Beef Brisket
-
Prepare and pound the crab
After purchasing the crabs, wash them thoroughly with water several times. Then, put them all into a mortar, add 1 tablespoon of salt, and grind them into a paste. Next, transfer the ground crab into a bowl.
-
Filtering crab
Pour about 400ml of water into the bowl containing the finely crushed crab and stir well to completely dissolve the crab in the water. Then, use a strainer to filter out the crab meat, keeping only the crab stock.
Next, pour an additional 300ml of water into the bowl containing the discarded crab meat, then use the strainer again to remove the crab meat once more.
-
Cooking crab stock
Pour the crab stock into a pot, place it on the stove, and adjust to medium heat. After cooking for about 5 minutes, the crab roe will gradually stick together and float to the surface, which is when it’s done. Then turn off the heat!
-
Prepare other ingredients
Clean the bone thoroughly. To eliminate the smell of the meat, you should blanch it in boiling water for about 2 minutes, then rinse with cold water and drain in a basket.
Clean the beef brisket, to remove the odor of the beef, use paper towels to lightly absorb the blood on the meat, rub ginger around the meat, then rinse thoroughly with water and drain. After that, slice it thinly.
Peeled shallots, wash them clean, then slice them thinly.
Wash the cilantro thoroughly, then chop it small. Trim off any yellow leaves and roots from the green onions, then chop them small. Also, wash the tomatoes thoroughly.
Tip:
- To eliminate the smell of the bone, in addition to the method above, you can also add a crushed onion into the water when boiling the bones.
- Additionally, another way to remove the smell of the brisket is to soak it in a mixture of alcohol and water for 15 minutes, then drain and cut as usual.

You can eat crab noodle soup with various types of fresh vegetables to make the dish more appealing and less greasy.
How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Freshwater Crabs
- You should choose freshwater crabs that have a cloudy gray color, while the crab shell should be bright and shiny.
- Preferably, choose live crabs that can move and have claws pointing upwards.
- At the same time, you can check by squeezing with your hand; if the crab is soft, you should not buy it because it is quite young, the meat is not delicious and lacks sweetness.
How to Choose Fresh and Delicious Beef Brisket
- Choose pieces of beef brisket that are red with white streaks of fat and light yellow fat, as these pieces have a good balance of meat and fat, making them quite tender.
- You can check the freshness of the beef by gently pressing with your hand; if the beef is firm, has good elasticity, and has no unusual smell when sniffed, then you should buy it.
- Additionally, good pieces of beef usually have soft, small fibers and are not too fine.
How to choose fresh, delicious tomatoes
- You should choose fruits with a shiny, bright red skin, firm, and without tiny black spots.
- Prioritize buying those with green stems, still fresh and tightly attached to the tomato body.
- Do not choose fruits that feel too soft when held or have hard and soft spots because they may have been bruised.
