Because it uses 450ml rice wine, and some recipes use a lot of white wine, it is called drunk crab.The drunken crab I made uses rock sugar, various spices, rice wine, osmanthus, etc., and it uses cooked hairy crabs. It tastes a little sweet and has a strong fragrance. I hope you like it.

3、 Drunken crabs can also be made with raw crabs, but I suggest that you still use cooked crabs to make it because it is safer and healthier.
