Made this yesterday, ate the crab today. SOO GOOD! If you love eating raw sushi, the texture/flavor is similar to that & the crab meat melts in your mouth 😍 The flavor is not too salty or sweet. It tastes so fresh! I paired it with seaweed & rice. You can also garnish & customize if you want to add other flavors to the mix.
This Ganjang-gejang reminds me of my childhood memory that my grandma in South Korea used to make this one all the time whenever I visited her! Now I can make this by myself! I appreciate at it, Maangchi:)
My real name is Tony and i remember calling you many years ago to make this recipe. Thank you for finally making it!!! You are a wonderful human being extending Korean Culture to everyone. we all love Maangchi!!!!
I watched another Korean RUclips channel eating this a few hours ago. So I figured, let us go to Maangchi's channel and learn how to cook raw crab so I can try. Its 9PM so I have to wait until tomorrow before I can grab some ingredients at our local Asian supermarket. Many thanks to Maangchi for the lesson. Hope you well. 08/08/2020
Ive been thinking about it but people have been complaining about food poisoning. Its not an alarming amount but still, I do not feel like having diarrhea LOL.
Where i am from ( Thailand) we use fish sauce to marinate our crabs and top them with generous amounts of spicy and sour (seafood sauce). Marinated Raw Crabs is my all time favourite dish! I'd love to try Korean version of yours as well, by just looking at the dish my mouth is drooooolinggggggg :p yum yum! Thanks for sharing Maangchi, you rock as always
My mom's family is from a fishing town in China and we eat crab kind of like this too! Haven't had crab in maybe half a dozen years and this makes me miss it so much. We sometimes just marinade the crab in liquor (well, okay, we marinade everything in liquor) and it's really strong but really good.
Maangchi yes its a childhood favorite of mine! I just wish I could make this again but crabs arent really fresh during this season especially where i live
This was my comment last year. Im literally eating raw crab now everyweek for a year now. Your recipe is the best. Thank you for being so generous, you are sharing recipes at right measurements i did exactly no more no less. Now im making Yangneom Gejang too. ❤️❤️❤️
The first (and only) time that I ever encountered these was at a the Korean BBQ place Kang Suh here in NYC back in 1998. It was my first time at a BBQ and my (non-Korean) friend and I were served these with the banchan. We saw the crabs and were like, um, what do we do with these? They're raw! So we put them on the grill to cook. In a few minutes, the waitress came over and started screaming at us in Korean and took them off. This was in the early days of Korean BBQ in NYC and very few of the waitstaff spoke English. About a year later, I told the story to some Korean friends about it and they laughed and laughed and called me an idiot and brought me back there (I was too embarrassed return on my own) and had a great time. Strangely, I've never seen them (as banchan) at any Korean restaurant since then and completely forgot about it all until I saw this video. Thanks, Maangchi :o)
I'm Korean. When I was young, my mom always had a smooth rock in the kitchen that I was never allowed to touch. I always saw it in a jar of something, and my mom told me it was for "flavoring". I was young...so I never doubted her. I honestly believed it until I was an adult. Don't judge me.
Use rice or corn syrup. Check out the description box in any video and follow the link for the written recipe. Every video has a written recipe where I provide more detailed information such as ingredients, step by step directions, stories behind, photos, and tips.
Learning how to make Ganjang Gejang because it’s so difficult to get find an eatery where they serve this! Love how you clearly explain each step. Hope I succeed!
maangchi~!! i made this and it turned out super delicious! my family loves the leftover sauce and we use it to cook vegetables and almost every other thing for deep flavour!
This looks so good! I really want to make this. I'm going to marinate raw shrimp in a soy sauce marinade tonight. I've never eaten raw shrimp before and I'm looking forward to it!
Maangchi can you please give me all of the soy sauce brand and another sauce which just red that you put in. I️ dont know what is it? Is it the hot sauce or honey?
I'm a crab fishermen here in Seattle, Wa. and haven eaten a lot of cooked crab over the yrs but never raw and I want to try it with the Dungeness Crab which is about 3x the sz. of a blue crab. Only thing is were not allowed to take the female-crab so I guess that means no roe just the yellow-green-brown crab -butter guts. Well I hope I don't get sick!
The marinade sauce needs to be boiled until hot (over 70 degress Celcius) to kill any bacteria/viruses manifesting inside the crabs. About a day or two after the first pickling process, you collect the liquid, boil it again and pour it back onto the crabs
I love how you say "freeze them" to get them "ready". I feel so sorry killing the crabs, my mom used to open them alive! AH!! But I like your method better!! Good tip!
I don't think freezing them actually kills them. Blue crabs might be different but I know the dungeoness and king crabs we have available in my area live in near frozen waters so freezing them just makes them slower not dead.
Are you talking about the seaweed that looks like paper called gim? If so, it won't work. You need to add dried kelp that makes the broth savory. Good luck! And Check out the recipe on my website, please. It has all the information you need. I always put the link to recipe in the description box of my videos.
@@Maangchi omg thank for your replied chef. yess gim, I think I will skip that dried kelp bcause I have never seen them in my town market or do you have an alternavite ingredient instead of using dried kelp... And I've been reading the recipe on your web and look at how to cook and marinade the crab in good ways
I recently saw this dish on "lets eat" and i was so curious what it was call.. Oh my it looks so good.. I cant wait to get some crabs and try your recipe.. thanks so much for loading this.. :)
Dried kelp. Check out the recipe on my website, please. It has all the information you need. I always put the link to recipe in the description box of my videos. Good luck with your Korean cooking!
@@suriyanichow can definitely use honey or brown sugar. Jus watch out for the amount you put in. Maple syrup, in my experience, will give it a sort of candy aftertaste that doesn’t really go along with crabs or any other soy marinated food so I dont recommend it,
간장게장 I made it. My husband and my girls love it.. 감사합니다. It's easy to follow your recipe. 갑시다 또 안하세요? 또 하시면 you should come visit Colorado Springs Colorado.
^^ That looks so delicious. I watched your video with my son, when you said "good bye" at the end of the video, he waved to you and said good bye too. lol He enjoyed watching your video too. Thanks :)
I'm from Shanghai and we eat marinated fresh water crabs too. But fresh water crabs must be soaked in marinade with strong liquor, so that the crabs are well cooked, and the crab roe is amazing!
It's really good. Actually when she rested the crabs with the sauce in the refrigerater, those are kinda fermented? So that's why you can eat the crabs raw. If you get nterested of those, i surely would recomend you to visit South Korea and try it. There are many restaraunts making it in traditional way which can be so much better, Maangchi's is also good though.
Yes, keep in the fridge and finish eating it in a week. If you want to keep it longer, check out "Tips for making awesome ganjang-gejang" on my website.

Wow! 8 years ago I made Gangjang-Gejang watching your video. I really hope to see the spicy version too Maangchi. 🙏🏻 who knows, you might have your version because it is always delicious when you eat it 😋 🤤🤤
Please forgive my ignorance. My grandmother is from south Carolina and she catches her own crabs out there. Can this dish be made with any crab or just the blue crab and are there any health related concerns (besides allergies) with not cooking the crab? Does it go through a (cold cooking) process or something? This is different for me. I love crab but never saw someone eat it without boiling them first.
We, Koreans eat raw fish and crabs with a salty marination. We even eat salty raw fish guts. It may sound gross but very tasty. However, be sure to use alive crabs and wash thoroughly. I sometimes use a toothbrush to wash hard-to-reach areas. Hope this helped :)
+miya sanchez I'm not an expert on crabs but the enzymes in the marinade do contribute to a raw "cooking" method, like citrus juice does to fish (as with ceviche).
하... 수능 끝나고 여수 여행 가서 첫 영접했는데 맛없는 식당에 걸려서 게장은 다 비리고 맛없는 줄 알고 안 먹었는데... 이번 가을에 엄마표 간장게장 한 입 먹고 엄청 배신감 들었어요 ㅋㅋㅋ 게 값 엄청 쌀 때 왕창 주문해서 게장 서너 번 해먹고, 남은 국물로 게국지 끓여먹고 해서 3주 정도는 맛있게 먹었네요 ㅎㅎ 참, 같은 간장 양념으로 새우장 해도 맛있어요 :)
I have to say THANK YOU for all the great videos u make. U're the only person who gives me motivation to cook. I used to live in Korea and now im finally able to cook some korean foods. PLEASE, for your next videos can u teach how to cook " 제육덮밥 " its one of my favorite meal so i would love to learn it since i live in france and i cant order this plate anymore at 김밥전국 ㅠㅠ
Gwendoline I have noticed from living on both east and west coasts that belie crab is very popular and wilt available. or average crab will work fine. I wouldn't use a king crab or others of that nature cause it more about the body not the claw meat. hope I was helpful! !
Honestly, you are a delicious human being. Thank you for teaching me amazing things. I am a single mom and my daughter is in love with watching you while we cuddle, then we cook!! You have taught me how to cook octopus (which took a few tries for sure), sauces and now crab!! I want you to know how important you are to this family of two, we just love you and love making exotic delicious foods. Now my two year old asks for crab (!!) not Sandwiches. Thank you chef 💖 Sasha & Aurora
Sometimes oldies are getting hard to eat comfortably. But once you have this fermented crabs, I would say they can easily finish their meals without a problem. I just make sure that the saltiness is not too much.
for the first time i tasted Gajang Gejang and i could say its so Yummy. The sauce is sweet and beautifully blend in the Crab. I ate 7 crabs. But unfortunately i had swollen lips and tongue after, it was Itchy after eating. i had allergy. I could say this is only for people who have no allergy in raw crab. No regrets in trying. Its so delicious
I thought you have to wait at least 2 - 3 days before eating. My mother makes this and she separates the sauce with the crabs after 3 days and she boils the sauce, cools it, and combine with the crabs again for one day before eating. I asked her why, but she’s not sure why. Is it safe to eat after 24 hours? Also, I made this and used a sandwich bag filled with water instead of using a stone because my container is square shaped.
The brine gets diluted as the moisture from the crabs seeps out from osmosis. Bacteria can start growing at this stage. The second boil is to kill off these bacteria.
Maangchi I have a request, can you please a short video telling the most important, common and optional ingredients and stuff to have in a korean kitchen? Please include spices, herbs, sauces, curries, pastes etc etc.
I'm not sure if you still need this (since it's been 5 yrs) but heres a short list excluding the obvious like salt and sugar: Gochujang (spicy chili paste) Dwenjang (soy bean paste) Gochu garu (grounded chili) Ganjang (soy sauce- theres two kinds of soy sauce that we like to use. One is guckganjang and the other is jinganjang) Dried anchovies Dried kelp Chamgileum (sesame seed oil) Garlic (ground and whole) Aekjut (Korean fish sauce) Literally you can make most things with just this. Hope this helped.
Mouth-watering, Maangchi. I wish I had this recipe when I lived in Maryland. The next time I see fresh crabs, I will try this! Thanks again for the great recipes and demonstration.
I khow this , gajang-gejang crad so delicious.i ate in a korea market when i travel korea. I like it but don't know how to make it, thanks you maangchi
Hi maangchi, can you tell me wich brand of soya sauce you use? Is it light soya? Dark soya? 😢

Okay so I did some research but all you need to do is add your own soy sauce with about 5 percent alchohol content. Or add some plain wine.
Please any updates haha?? I want to try!!
@@vickyrae5949 I heard you let it ferment in the fridge for 3 days. That way you don't get sick. Since it not a raw food anymore but a fermented one.

I've been watching Maangchi for a few years now, and her enjoying her own cooking that much never gets old!
I'm not sure about the syrup. What kind of syrup? Rice syrup?
She always use rice syrup
It replaces sugar
it is slowly fermented rice starch by amylase so that it become sweet and sticky. usually sells in korean and Chinese market.
Im obsessed with kejang now. I can’t wait to make this. Idk what it is with raw foods, but I love yukhoe and sashimi.

Only thing is were not allowed to take the female-crab so I guess that means no roe just the yellow-green-brown crab -butter guts. Well I hope I don't get sick!
I grew up in northern California and my mother used to make it with Dungeness. It's great but the shell's thicker than blue crab so be careful.

If there's no female crabs with the roe, you can make the soft boiled egg and put the yolk on the marinated crab instead just before you eat it. ;)
Actually, that 'roe' @ eggs she's talking about is what u just called butter guts. Tomalley. Crab inerts. Crabs eggs is never on the inside :)

Maaangchi: Thank you rock!
I am almost about to cry because it looks soooooooo delish. Thank you Maangchi for great sharing.
Woooooow!! Thanks so much I will try this my bf and father will love this . Both have travelled to Korea , Japan .. So they will love it
하... 수능 끝나고 여수 여행 가서 첫 영접했는데 맛없는 식당에 걸려서 게장은 다 비리고 맛없는 줄 알고 안 먹었는데... 이번 가을에 엄마표 간장게장 한 입 먹고 엄청 배신감 들었어요 ㅋㅋㅋ
게 값 엄청 쌀 때 왕창 주문해서 게장 서너 번 해먹고, 남은 국물로 게국지 끓여먹고 해서 3주 정도는 맛있게 먹었네요 ㅎㅎ 참, 같은 간장 양념으로 새우장 해도 맛있어요 :)
This is defifnetely "Holy Crab"!
I have to say THANK YOU for all the great videos u make. U're the only person who gives me motivation to cook. I used to live in Korea and now im finally able to cook some korean foods. PLEASE, for your next videos can u teach how to cook " 제육덮밥 " its one of my favorite meal so i would love to learn it since i live in france and i cant order this plate anymore at 김밥전국 ㅠㅠ
영상 올라올때마다 봐요 너무 재밌어요 ! 잘하시고!
+강은지 고맙습니다!
Maangchi I like you cook
망치씨 진짜 맛을 아는 분이세요^^ 그리고 요리 이질적이지 않고 쉬워서 좋아요 감사합니다^^
can i use pear instead of apple?
Gwendoline I believe that would work fine. but it would have a milder flavor than if you used a Fuji apple. Korean pear if you can find it.
Desmond San Nicolas thanks for the info. Now I need to find blue crab. We can only get flower crab and mangrove crab here
Gwendoline I have noticed from living on both east and west coasts that belie crab is very popular and wilt available. or average crab will work fine. I wouldn't use a king crab or others of that nature cause it more about the body not the claw meat. hope I was helpful! !

Honestly, you are a delicious human being. Thank you for teaching me amazing things. I am a single mom and my daughter is in love with watching you while we cuddle, then we cook!! You have taught me how to cook octopus (which took a few tries for sure), sauces and now crab!! I want you to know how important you are to this family of two, we just love you and love making exotic delicious foods. Now my two year old asks for crab (!!) not Sandwiches.
Thank you chef

Never knew blue crabs can be eaten raw like that. Pretty awesome. Would totally try it!
this is my mothers favorite dish. I plan on making this for her. Thank you Maangchi Kim
1 plate of rock.. I laughed so hard at that. You're so cute maangchi. ❤️
Sometimes oldies are getting hard to eat comfortably. But once you have this fermented crabs, I would say they can easily finish their meals without a problem. I just make sure that the saltiness is not too much.
I always get so jealous when youre tasting it :)
for the first time i tasted Gajang Gejang and i could say its so Yummy. The sauce is sweet and beautifully blend in the Crab. I ate 7 crabs. But unfortunately i had swollen lips and tongue after, it was Itchy after eating. i had allergy. I could say this is only for people who have no allergy in raw crab. No regrets in trying. Its so delicious
Well i didnt stop there. Now i have antibodies, never have allergy anymore. im eating Ganjang Gejang and Yangneom gejang for a year now everyweek ❤❤❤
I thought you have to wait at least 2 - 3 days before eating. My mother makes this and she separates the sauce with the crabs after 3 days and she boils the sauce, cools it, and combine with the crabs again for one day before eating. I asked her why, but she’s not sure why. Is it safe to eat after 24 hours?
Also, I made this and used a sandwich bag filled with water instead of using a stone because my container is square shaped.
The brine gets diluted as the moisture from the crabs seeps out from osmosis. Bacteria can start growing at this stage. The second boil is to kill off these bacteria.
Maangchi I have a request, can you please a short video telling the most important, common and optional ingredients and stuff to have in a korean kitchen? Please include spices, herbs, sauces, curries, pastes etc etc.
I'm not sure if you still need this (since it's been 5 yrs) but heres a short list excluding the obvious like salt and sugar:
Gochujang (spicy chili paste)
Dwenjang (soy bean paste)
Gochu garu (grounded chili)
Ganjang (soy sauce- theres two kinds of soy sauce that we like to use. One is guckganjang and the other is jinganjang)
Dried anchovies
Dried kelp
Chamgileum (sesame seed oil)
Garlic (ground and whole)
Aekjut (Korean fish sauce)
Literally you can make most things with just this. Hope this helped.
게를 손질하기 전, 수세미같은것으로 게 껍질을 충분히 닦고 하셔야 할것같아요.... 대장균이 득실할수도 있을테니까요
잘 보고 갑니다~ 간장게장 엄청 좋아하는데 저도 만들어보고싶네요
I made this for Christmas maangchi and it was so so so delicious 🤤 thank you so much for the recipe!!!
Cheon song yi ate something like this in my love from another star!
I just made this dish. I can't get over the texture n the thought of eating it raw so I cooked it n its delicious!
I put the crabs in the freezer to so they don’t suffer when I remove the shells and boil them.
Mouth-watering, Maangchi. I wish I had this recipe when I lived in Maryland. The next time I see fresh crabs, I will try this! Thanks again for the great recipes and demonstration.
I wanna try this!
In Thailand we eat raw crab too! We eat with spicy sauce.
And we put it in Som-Tam (spicy papaya salad).
My mouth is watering (￣◇￣;)
Dad and I go nuts over this stuff!!!
I khow this , gajang-gejang crad so delicious.i ate in a korea market when i travel korea. I like it but don't know how to make it, thanks you maangchi
In Cambodia we call it salted crab. We just used a lot of fish sauce. And put the live crab in and let marginated.
+Tobias Tae Does it die in the marinade?
Yes it does.
Ok thanks.
I can probably eat this for week non-stop
