Ka's Easy Boiled Crabs

Decided NOT to cook chilli crab for once.. too hot a day anyway. so decided to boil them.... 1st time trying but I kinda got it right...

Ingredients:
1 lemon - sliced
1 onion - quartered
5cm knob of ginger - sliced
3 tbsp cider vinegar (or any other vinegar you like)
4 tsp salt
4 mud crabs

Method:
[1] Clean the crabs and wash. Leave aside.


[2] Put everthing except crabs in a pot and half fill with cold water.



[3] When the water boils, add in the crab; try to stack the shells on top so the roe does not drop everywhere....

[4] Lower the heat and cover (leave a gap so it does not boil out); simmer for 15 minutes. Serve warm (or cool). Optional: melted butter to dip the flesh in. Me and mom polished off all 4 crabs plain. Crab soaked in all the flavours from the boiling so was kinda nice and refreshing. (^_^)
