膏蟹味道鮮美甘香，令人垂涎欲滴，我總想找到創新的方法，烹調一道滿載驚喜的膏蟹菜。第一道的蟹菜式是參考自馳名的潮州菜，原法以丁香和八角來蒸蟹。我喜歡Le Creuset鍋持久的保溫能力，更相信借用它來依法炮製，效果會加倍驚喜，蟹肉入味，味道分外惹味之餘，層次亦頓感豐富。甫上桌，即滿室香氣。

豆豉苦瓜炒膏蟹 / Roe Crab with Bitter Melon and Black Bean Sauce
第二道蟹菜是魚販阿姨向我推銷膏蟹，說她的膏蟹是在深海捕獲，非常新鮮。為了吸引我光顧，她還教我獨門食譜。
我聽了，頓時想起中外馳名的豆豉炒牛肉，而豆豉炒膏蟹正是這道家常小菜的變奏。蟹膏香、蟹汁鮮，加入豆豉醬汁後，味道更加濃郁突出，令人食指大動。
