Chili Crabs 辣椒蟹 step by step

  1. Cleaning crabs and put aside....
  2. Heat up the wok with 3tbsp vegetables oil and Stir-fried garlic & chili then add in lemongrass, tomato sauce & thai sauce... also add in some water to control the thickness of the sauce..
  3. Add in all the crabs and covered for 3 minutes then salt & sugar add in for taste. Lastly add in the eggs stir well then potato starch to adjust the thickness of the chili sauce.. ready to be served with bread.

The sauce pairs beautifully with Chinese mantou—steamed or fried—as the bun sops up. And what better way to enjoy it than to cook up a storm and share this treat with family and friends? Not to forget, dipping both the crab and the deep fried mantou in the sauce makes for the perfect bite, there's no doing without it! Try not to use frozen crab as the meat texture will deteriorate if it's being stored in the fridge for more than a day. Mince the garlic, onion, shallots and red chilis.
