00:00Before watching the video, let me remind you that there is more content on the R.E.D.I.A. website.
00:30After removing the crab meat, add the pork and put the filling into the crab shell before steaming.
00:36But this home-cooked dish that carries the cultural heritage and family memory of Guadeng Fujian people
00:42is now also facing a loss.
00:45Let's explore the story behind this unique delicacy with the camera of reporter Zhong Yixuan, Lu Huiheng and Liu Shengming.
00:53On the street of Tangren Street in Dengjialou, the street is full of red lanterns to add a touch of festive color to the old street.
01:01There is a coffee shop in the old house of the two rows next to the street.
01:04It is a shop that sells the traditional Fujian New Year's dish, crab cake.
01:08Crab cake is not only a must-have New Year's dish for Dengjialou Fujian people, but also a famous local delicacy.
01:15Crab cake may not look eye-catching, but the freshness of the crab meat and the aroma of the pork make it taste rich and layered.
01:23The main ingredients of crab cake include crab meat, pork trotters, shallots, pepper and salt.
01:28These are fresh crabs that have been carefully selected and live in the saline water.
01:33After steaming, the crab meat must be slowly peeled by hand.
01:37Press it down and slowly pull it out.
01:43Then mix it with pork trotters, add shallots, salt and pepper to season.
01:48After mixing well, put the filling into the crab shell and steam for 20 minutes.
01:54Each step must be carefully processed in order to retain the freshness and traditional flavor.
01:59Wu Aihua, the owner of this coffee shop, said that sometimes it takes a whole day to peel the crab meat.
02:06If there is a lot of crab meat, it takes a whole day to peel it.
02:13Although there are a lot of procedures and time-consuming processes,
02:15it cannot prevent crab cake from taking over the seat of the dining table of many Dengjialou Fujian people.
02:20For Ms. Wu's family, this home-cooked dish passed down from her grandmother still carries a lot of memories.
02:27My grandmother is a local Fujianese.
02:30We used to live by the sea.
02:33The crabs were cheap and we could make a lot of things.
02:36We could make crab cakes, noodles and five-spice sticks.
02:41We could make anything.
02:43It was also very delicious.
02:44My grandmother passed it down to me.
02:46I miss her a lot because she taught me a lot.
02:50I learned a lot from her.
02:52I don't want to pass it down.
02:54It is very difficult to find these things now.
02:56The traditional taste of this dish is similar to that of the crab.
03:01As time goes by, it gradually takes over the sight of the people.
03:04In order not to lose this precious traditional dish,
03:07Ms. Wu not only persists in making it herself,
03:09but also passes on this craft to her children.
03:11I hope the next generation can continue this memory
03:14so that the fragrance of crab cake can continue to float on the dining table.
03:17I have tried it many times and failed many times.
03:20It tastes different from my mother's.
03:23We discussed and discussed how to adjust the taste.
03:27Now, it has gradually improved.
03:30I hope it can continue to pass on
03:33so that more people can taste the traditional taste.
03:39The traditional taste of the crab cake on the dining table
03:41makes people miss it.
03:42Because it is no longer just a meal,
03:44but a fusion of nostalgia, family affection and tradition.
03:47What everyone misses most is the taste of home.
03:50There is crab cake,
03:52shrimp paste,
03:54kueh hong,
03:55which is also a local dish.
03:57Meatball soup,
03:58which is also a local dish.
04:00Dingjia fish,
04:01which is also a local dish.
04:02The family temporarily puts aside their busy work
04:04and sit together.
04:06Perhaps this is the so-called
04:07joy of the New Year,
04:09and the origin of the taste of the world.
04:11We have been doing this for 28 years.
04:14Sometimes we have been doing this for 29 years.
04:17We are used to eating New Year's dinner together.
04:20We get to know each other.
04:22We get together to eat New Year's dinner.
04:25It is a good atmosphere for the New Year.
04:27It is a family reunion.
04:29Every family needs a reunion like this.
04:32Grandchildren and children get together to celebrate.
04:36The family gets together like this crab cake.
04:39Different ingredients are carefully mixed
04:41and made into a firm crab shell.
04:43Although the shell is hard,
04:44the inside is soft and delicious.
04:47It is like a family.
04:48No matter where they are,
04:49they are always connected.
04:51This traditional taste
04:53and family memory
04:54is not only a New Year's dish,
04:56but also a bond between families.
