How to prepare the recipe for crab noodle soup

  Marinate the ingredients

  To prepare the crab, first, use a brush to scrub the dirt off the crab shell, remove the gills, then use a knife to cut the crab in half.

  Next, marinate the crab with 1 teaspoon of salt, 1 teaspoon of seasoning, 1 teaspoon of pepper, and 1 tablespoon of fish sauce, then let it marinate for 15 minutes to absorb the spices evenly.

  For the shallots, wash them with clean water and then crush them finely. Boil the quail eggs for about 10 minutes over medium heat until cooked, then remove and place them in a bowl of cold water to peel off the shells.

  Cooking bánh canh

  You place a pot on the stove, turn the heat to medium, and add 2 tablespoons of cooking oil. Wait for the oil to heat up, then add the shallots to sauté until fragrant.

  Next, you add the cleaned crab and stir gently to release its aroma, then add the fish cake to simmer together. After that, pour 2 liters of filtered water into the pot, and wait until the water boils before adding the beef paste to cook together.

  Continue to cook for about 15 minutes until the water boils vigorously, then drop the quail eggs in, and season with an additional 3 teaspoons of seasoning to enhance the flavor of the dish.

  Finally, prepare another pot of water to boil the rice noodle bánh canh until it becomes translucent and soft. Then, place the rice noodle into a bowl, ladle in some broth, sprinkle finely chopped green onions on top, and add fried dough sticks.

  Prepare some pickled shallots to serve alongside!
