When it comes to indulging in hairy crabs, the delectable accompaniments of ginger tea and rice wine simply cannot be overlooked. Mastering the art of pairing crabs with drinks can not only accentuate their distinctive flavours but also introduce a unique harmony between ingredients.

At the height of this year’s crab season, the famous hairy crabs are omnipresent in markets and malls alike. Dishes utilising the sweet and delicate hairy crab meat spread across a wide spectrum of complexity, ranging from xiaolongbao with crab roe and baked crab roe in crab shells on the more elaborate end, to steamed crabs with ginger and perilla leaves on the more simplistic end.
