How to make crab noodle soup:
Step 1: Prepare the crab and ribs

- Clean the field crab, peel off the shell, and remove the gills.
- Use a skewer to poke the crab roe into a small bowl separately.
- Crush the crab and strain the water.
Step 2: Make the broth
- Boil the strained water with the crab. Note: when boiling, simmer gently and stir lightly so that the crab meat floats to the top and does not break, scoop the floating crab meat into a separate bowl. Pour the crab water into the simmered bone broth.
- Dice the tomatoes and sauté them with a little cooking oil, then add all these tomatoes to the broth. This will create a slightly sour flavor and attractive color for the dish.
- Peel and clean the tamarind, then place it in a pot of water until soft. Drain, mash, pour a little water into the bowl, then pour it back into the pot.
- Season the broth to taste
Step 3: Make the lolot leaf-wrapped crab cakes
- Soak the bamboo shoots in warm water to soften, then rinse, cut off the dirty parts, and finely chop.
- Mix the bamboo shoots with minced meat, the remaining shallots, and ½ teaspoon of salt.
- Clean the lolot leaves and let them drain.
- Then, wrap the mixture in lolot leaves. When wrapping, pay attention to ensure that the leaves are dark green on the outside of the piece. After wrapping, place a pan on the stove, pour cooking oil and heat it up, then add the wrapped rolls, fry until cooked, then remove to a plate.
Step 4:
- Wash the rice crackers with water and drain. When eating, dip them in hot water to soften the rice crackers.
- Wash the raw vegetables, soak in salt water, rinse with filtered water.
- Pick and wash the water spinach, cilantro, and morning glory, cut into sections.
Step 5: Present and enjoy
