Cooking Instructions

The market purchases clear water crayfish, which is relatively clean and will be more convenient to clean up later
Remove the crayfish head, go to the stomach and shrimp line (if you don't know how to get it, you can let the boss help deal with it) I personally like to come back and deal with the first relatively clean, the second: cut your own hair and cut it relatively small, so that the yellow will not fall out, although some people say that it is not good to eat, but I like to eat him, anyway, I can't often eat it until the season is gone , and I can see that I like it as long as the shrimp tail
Drain the cleaned crayfish, heat the oil and fry it until it turns red, then remove it and set aside
Add oil to the pot and heat it, add minced garlic, bean paste, add spices: 1 piece of cinnamon, 2 star anise, 1 grass fruit, 8-10 dried chili peppers, 4-5 bay leaves, Sichuan pepper, ginger slices, stir-fry until fragrant, add crayfish and other seasonings and stir-fry for about 3-5 minutes, add beer to enhance the flavor, continue to stir-fry for 3-5 minutes, cover the lid, turn off the heat and simmer, (crayfish should not be fried for too long, the meat will be scattered), turn off the heat and simmer for half an hour, turn 3-4 times halfway, this is the key to make the crayfish more flavorful, If you are not in a hurry to eat, simmering for about an hour is the best meat, and the meat will be more fragrant and flavorful.
Continue to boil the crayfish that has been stewed and flavorful, add cucumber slices (you can add any side dish you like), stir-fry three or four times, turn off the heat and remove from the pot,
Here's a reminder: I like to eat crispy cucumber strips, so I didn't cook for too long, if you like to eat soft ones, such as âž• lettuce âž• corn, then you can add it in advance in the above link, so that the boiling time will be softer and more flavorful, and the crayfish soup after eating can also be mixed with noodles to eat, oh, super flavorful
