Prepare the ingredients
After purchasing, you should blanch the crab meat in boiling water for about 1 minute, then remove it and let it drain. If you steam the crab meat and shred it immediately, you can skip the blanching step.
Shiitake mushrooms cut off the muddy stems, wash them clean, then slice them thinly.
Remove the husk from the corn, wash it clean, then grate it, and chop the hairy crab into small pieces.
Soak the snow mushrooms in water for about 20 – 30 minutes until they soften, then rinse them with water again, and cut them into small pieces.
Crack the chicken eggs into a bowl and beat them well.

Cooking crab soup
Put 1.3 liters of water into the pot and bring to a boil over high heat, when the water boils, add the shiitake mushrooms and corn, and cook for 5 – 7 minutes.
Next, add 3 teaspoons of salt, 1 piece of rock sugar to the pot, reduce the heat to medium, and then add the crab meat.
-
Completion
Gently stir the soup pot and add the beaten eggs through a sieve to create beautiful strands, then add 1/4 teaspoon of monosodium glutamate.
To achieve a certain thickness for the soup, dissolve 100 grams of tapioca flour with 200ml of water, then slowly pour it into the soup pot until the soup reaches the desired thickness.
Tip: To check if the soup has reached the right thickness, let it sit; if the crab meat floats evenly in the soup, it is successful.Finally, add snow fungus and hair fungus, stir well, season to taste, and turn off the stove. Note that you should add the snow fungus last to maintain its crispness. Avoid adding it too early, as it will become mushy and lose its flavor.
