ASIAN-STYLE STEAMED ALASKA CRAB
with BOK CHOY

Prep Time: 10 minutes Cook Time: 15 minutes Servings: 4

4 Alaska Dungeness Crab clusters, frozen
1 can (14.5 oz.) chicken or vegetable broth
3 Tablespoons Ponzu (soy-citrus) sauce
1 Tablespoon soy sauce
2 teaspoons sesame oil
2-inch piece of fresh ginger, peeled and cut in julienne strips
2 teaspoons chopped garlic
1 head (1 pound) bok choy, trimmed and cut crosswise in thin slices
2 green onions, sliced diagonally
1 cup cilantro sprigs

Rinse Alaska Dungeness Crab clusters under cold running water to remove any ice glaze; pat dry with paper towels. Discard towels.

Add broth, Ponzu sauce, soy sauce, sesame oil, ginger and garlic to large pot. Insert vegetable steamer or bamboo steamer. Add crab to steamer and bring broth to a boil. Cover and steam crab for 8 to 10 minutes, until the internal temperature of the crab reaches 145ºF (use an instant-read thermometer and test crab in the shoulder section).

Remove crab from pot; cover and keep warm. Remove steamer from pot; add bok choy to steamer broth. Cook and stir 3 to 5 minutes, until wilted.

To serve, ladle 1 cup bok choy and broth into a large shallow bowl. Top with a crab cluster, green onions and cilantro sprigs.
