Get crabby at Sifangsanchuan

Crab season has come, and the Sichuan cuisine restaurant, Sifangsanchuan, in Beijing has launched a special crab menu until the end of November. Rice-liquor-saturated Yangcheng Lake hairy crab is its signature dish, as the crabs are marinated for 48 hours with yellow rice liquor, brandy, red sugar with ginger from Yunnan province and other ingredients before being steamed. Sauteed hairy crab with rice cakes in soy sauce and steamed buns with crabmeat are also must-tries.
