Crabs are a quintessential ingredient that embodies celebration and hospitality, making any meal feel special for those invited. While they can be challenging to source and prepare, serving a crab dish is undeniably impressive. Like many culinary skills, once you master handling crabs, transforming them into a delicious dish becomes effortless.
Today, we’ll be preparing Steamed Crab over rice wrapped in lotus leaves. Traditionally, this dish uses glutinous rice, but some find it a bit too heavy. In this recipe, I use USA Calrose rice as a lighter alternative.
USA Calrose Rice
USA Calrose Rice is a versatile medium grain rice that is sustainably grown in the USA. It offers a lighter alternative to glutinous rice while still providing a satisfying chew and stickiness, making it a good substitute. However, a few adjustments are needed to ensure the grains stay intact and perfectly al dente!
I have used USA Calrose Rice in many dishes. Do check out our other recipes at this link.
