Directions
Cracked Crab in Ginger Wine Sauce, I think Martin Yan’s recipes are great. All the recipes I’ve tried from his various cookbooks have always turned out super. It’s Dungeness season here in Northern California and Pacific Northwest and this one is not to be missed! The original recipe calls for 1/2 cup chopped ginger. I find 1/4 C to 1/3 C chopped ginger perfect for this recipe.
