These variant water monster crabs were too big. If you wanted to steam them whole, you'd have to use a customized cauldron, which was troublesome to handle. It was better to chop them directly to make spicy crabs.

Maybe it was because the water quality of the 19th planet was quite good, but the body of these water monster crabs was not as dirty as the previous Earth's hairy crabs, their digestive systems were quite intrepid. When they dissected the crabs during their testing by the beach, they found almost no dirt or grime within the crabs. They could be ready for cooking with a simple wash and scrub. There was also no need to soak them in water to make them spit up silt like in his previous life.

Seeing Ruan Tang take out those big and hideous water monsters, the audience was obviously frightened. Although they did not have the residents of the 19th planet's deep-rooted fear of these water monsters, they also felt that anything that looked like these couldn't be eaten.

[Walking by the river 2333: Doesn't this thing look too ugly? Is it really edible?]

[Meow star: Let's believe in the anchor! If the anchor says this can be eaten then this can be eaten! Didn't that fish before also look ugly, but it turned out delicious, right?]

[ID18220102: What the commenter above said makes sense!]

Ruan Tang opened the crab shell and removed the crab gills and abdomen. Then, he picked up the special kitchen knife, and cut the body into eight pieces. He also cut off the eight legs and two large claws. He took a small brush and scrubbed the water monster crabs very carefully. Turns out that this water monster crab was a female crab. After cutting it open, you can clearly see the very ample orange-yellow crab coral. The amount was particularly large. Ruan Tang could just imagine how delicious it would be after it's been cooked.

Ginger, garlic, and red pepper were all chopped into pieces.

He put the chopped monster crab into a specially-designed steamer and let it steam for ten minutes. As the temperature rose, the crab began to change color at a speed visible to the naked eye. After the water monster crabs were steamed, Ruan Tang cut the crab legs down the middle with a pair of scissors. This was so that when they were stir-fried later, they would absorb more flavor.

Next, he took out a pan and sautéed the minced ginger and garlic together. He added red pepper and peppercorns. A strong spicy scent intermingled with the smell of the minced garlic and spewed out. The He brothers' mouths started to water. However, those neighbors and garrison troops who hadn't tasted natural foods before weren't able to adapt to such a strong smell and they took a few steps back. Some people couldn't help but sneeze.

Ruan Tang poured the monster crab into the pan and started frying it vigorously. After a while, fine beads of sweat started to dot his forehead. The monster crab was so big that it took real effort to fry it. But as he stir-fried, the irritatingly spicy scent started to have this unidentifiable sweet scent.

The neighbors looked at each other, wondering who it was that gulped. The sound had been astonishingly loud.

Seeing that the water monster crab was almost done, Ruan Tang finally poured in some soy sauce, chili sauce and doubanjiang, and stir-fried for a while longer. A plate of great smelling, great looking and great tasting spicy crab was done.

"The spicy crabs are ready. Let's try it."

[Qi Jiu mo ran: How do you eat this?]

[The April Turtledove flicks its feathers: Maybe we eat the meat inside? But the shell is so hard QAQ and there are still hard thorns on the shell ...]

[Miao Miao loves to eat all the dishes of the anchor: my teeth are gonna fall out ... TAT]

Although Ruan Tang's audience had the eagerness of genuine foodies, when they encountered this monster, they were at a loss as to how to eat it.
