Spicy Twelve-Flavor CrawfishSpicy crayfish is made with fresh crayfish as the main ingredient, stir-fried with a blend of spices such as star anise, cassia bark, Sichuan pepper, and chili. First, the crayfish are cleaned and blanched to remove any fishy odor, then the spices are fried in oil until fragrant, followed by stir-frying the crayfish. Finally, water is added and the dish is simmered until fully flavored.
