I find snow crab legs and king crab legs heavily salty so I like to poach them in water before firing up the wok.
- Sliced ginger
- Scallions - the white part of the green onion, I like the scallions whole.
- Lots of minced garlic
- Light soy sauce mixed with a little sugar to balance the flavor (enough to taste.)
Cooking with the wok is a very fast process, have the ingredients close by.
I poach the crab legs until they are cooked and heated through.
-Lightly cover the wok in vegetable oil.
-The wok is heated very hot, the metal almost turns red from the fire.
-Throw in the garlic and ginger for a few seconds, until you smell the aromatics.
-Toss in the crab legs and TOSS the wok.
-While tossing the wok, drizzle the soy sauce.
-At the last minute before plating mix in the green scallions.
This dish doesn't take more than a few minutes once all the ingredients are ready to go.
I use a tiny fork made especially for crabs to eat so there is no need to fight with a rock or mallet to crack the shells.
Coming Soon: Salt and Pepper Dungeness Crab and Salted Egg Yolk Dungeness Crab (one of my favorites.)

wow, that looks fantastic! I love the big meaty alaskan king crab legs, but haven't ever tried to cook with it at home. The recipe looks simple enough, once I get my wok seasoned, I have to try this.
Why must I be allergic to seafood? I want this!! :)
i just learned that my good friend's hubby is allergic to crab and lobster. i thought that's horrible. i can't even imagine a life without crab or lobster. it's so good.
Birthdays are good for you. The more you have, the longer you live.............................................
So this is sad. Yesterday when I was reading this post, it reminded me of something but I couldn't put my finger on it. I finally figured out what it is...Costco. There's a guy who works in the Costco meat/seafood department who has a crush on me - whenever I see crab I think of him. I'm sure he'd love to know that! :/
This looks delicious. Ginger has great flavor on almost anything . I love ginger tea.
I've hade Lobster done this way. It was simple but outstanding.
