Unlike most Shanghainese snacks, which are steamed and boiled, Crab Shell Yellow is a baked dim sum. Compared with other snacks, crab shell yellow is stored for a longer period of time and is less affected by space constraints. Therefore, for many first-time visitors to Shanghai, crab shell yellow has become the first choice for souvenirs.
Crab shell yolk has nothing to do with crabs in terms of ingredients, but is named because of its resemblance to boiled crab shells. The crab shell yellow is covered with a layer of white sesame seeds, and the skin is crispy and has a sesame aroma, and the taste varies depending on the filling. Crab shell yellow is divided into two flavors: sweet and salty, with bean paste and jujube paste filling being the most representative sweetness, and fresh meat, scallion oil, and crab roe are popular for savory flavors.
