Guide to Cooking Delicious Field Crab Hotpot at Home
Finding a place to enjoy field crab hotpot in Da Nang is not difficult. Besides considering the destinations that Hanami suggests, you can also prepare a pot of field crab hotpot at home to treat your family. Let’s refer to some simple cooking secrets below to make your cooking journey easier!
Ingredients Preparation

- Ground field crab
- Crab roe
- Fried tofu
- Straw mushrooms
- Tomatoes
- Rice vermicelli
- Minced shallots
- Fried shallots
- Green onions
- Other seasoning ingredients
Tips for Choosing Fresh Field Crabs
- When buying live field crabs for cooking, choose ones with a dull purple-gray color. For meaty crabs, choose those with a small and pointed apron, while crabs with a lot of roe are female and have a larger apron.
- Choose crabs that are alive, move quickly, and have all their legs. A tip for you is that if you press on the apron shell and see bubbles, then the crab is fresh.
- Avoid field crabs with red eyes, hairy underbelly, or star spots on their body.
- Besides buying crabs to process, you can use pre-ground field crabs from reputable markets or supermarkets. Consider buying extra crab roe to make the broth sweeter.
Ingredient Preparation
- Clean the beef shank, cut into small pieces suitable for eating, and put in the refrigerator’s cool compartment.
- Wash the vegetables, remove any spoiled parts, and let them drain.
- Wash the tomatoes and cut them into wedges.
- Cut off the straw mushroom stems, soak them in diluted salt water for 15 minutes, and then rinse them with water.
Making Crab Paste

- Heat a pan over medium heat with a spoonful of cooking oil. When the oil is hot, add minced shallots and fry until fragrant, then add crab roe and sauté on low heat for about 5 minutes.
- Finally, add the sautéed crab roe and a tablespoon of fried shallots to the bowl of crab paste.
Cooking the Hotpot Broth
- Heat a pan over medium heat, add a tablespoon of annatto seed oil. When the oil is hot, add a spoonful of minced shallots and fry until fragrant, then add the tomatoes and sauté for about 2 minutes until soft.
- Place the pot of crab broth on the stove over high heat to boil quickly, then add the sautéed tomatoes, straw mushrooms.

- Bring to a boil again, adjust the seasoning to taste, add green onions, and turn off the heat.
Enjoying
- Pour the hotpot broth into an electric pot and dip toppings such as beef, crab paste, fried tofu, and vegetables to eat.
