Put the frozen crab sticks into the fridge to defrost for 24 hours. Cut into pieces.

Use the salt water to defrost the frozen shrimp and scallops. Wash and dry them up.

Use the salt water to defrost the clam meat and mussels. Remove the dirt and wash them using room temperature water. Then rinse them with boiling water for 10 seconds.

Put 1 tsp of oil first, and then butter, ginger, garlic, onion, carrot, celery and black pepper to fry on medium heat until you can smell the flavours.

After the soup is boiled on high heat, add shrimp, scallop, clam meat and mussels (Don’t close the lid ). After the soup is boiled again, stir evenly and turn off heat. Add salt if needed

TIPS
