Production steps
1: Find a clean container and put 1500 ml of boiling water or mineral water in it. Pour the salt into the water and stir constantly to allow the salt to melt. After the salt melts in the water, add the peppercorns and pour in 2 tablespoons of high liquor. Liquor is best put away, because the better the liquor, the more fragrant the salty crab flavor, and it is best to be a high-grade liquor brewed from pure grain! Definitely better than the salted crab you bought, the salted crab you bought is made of ordinary liquor.
