Instructions: Now that its crab season, try this Eastern Chinese dipping sauce, loaded with fresh ginger and vinegar.

Put the live crab in a steamer over rapidly boiling water; cover and steam for 15 minutes.

Meanwhile, mix the remaining ingredients thoroughly until the sugar dissolves.

Divide sauce among 2 to 4 dip bowls, depending on the number of diners.

Serve with the steamed crab.

NOTE: Chopped fresh coriander may be added, if desired.
