ingredients
1 crab, live in the shell, about 2 pound size
2 green onions, bruised and cut in half
2 slices (quarter-sized) ginger
1 tablespoon Shao Hsing wine or dry sherry
Dipping Sauce
4 tablespoons finely shredded green onion
2 tablespoons finely shredded ginger, preferably young ginger
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 teaspoon salt
5 tablespoons vinegar
3 1/2 tablespoons peanut oil
directions
Kill and clean the crab. Place it, top shell down, on a heat-resistant plate. Scatter the onion, ginger and wine on top of the crab. Put the crab and plate into a preheated steamer. Steam over high heat for 15 minutes. Remove and cool.
Disjoint and crack the crab and arrange on a platter. Dip the meat into the dipping sauce and eat with green onions and ginger. Use the tip of the leg to dig out the meat.
DIPPING SAUCE: Scatter green onions in a shallow saucer. Top with the shredded ginger. Sprinkle sugar and salt evenly over the ginger. Pour the vinegar over the ginger.
Heat the oil until it's hot but not smoking, and pour it over the mixture. It should sizzle lightly. If it is too hot, let it cool.

It may look like a sad little package shoved in the back of your freezer, but frozen spinach actually has a lot of culinary uses (and some may surprise you).
Love buffalo wings? Get that same hot, zippy flavor in everything from deviled eggs to enchiladas. And of course: wings.
