Instructions

  1. Step 1

    Clean and chop the 1 whole crab into 4 pieces. Slice the 8 oz mushrooms and mince the 3 garlic cloves.

  2. Step 2

    Heat 1 tbsp oil in a clay pot over medium. Add the garlic and mushrooms, cook until mushrooms release liquid and brown, about 5 minutes.

    Add the crab pieces and stir for 2 minutes until shells turn bright red.

  4. Step 4

    Pour in the 2 cups chicken broth and 2 tbsp soy sauce. Bring to a simmer, cover, and cook until crab is cooked through, about 8 minutes.
