Day 140 : Chilly Crabs

CHILLY CRABS

Today is Justine's birthday! :D


Our daughter says she wanna have crabs for dinner. So her dad and I are gonna prepare 2 different kinds of crabs. Chilly crabs by Bryan and Spaghetti-Crabs by moi.


See how Bryan tackles the crabs in a previous entry before tossing them into the hot pot. No, he did not steam them alive. Don't be ridiculous! He had them all put to eternal sleep first. See the link below :






Bryan is following the recipe on this crab-mascot 
he got from Singapore. 



3 Simple Steps :

1. Blend the Ingredients.

2. Mix the Sauces.

3. Prepare Cornflour & Egg.


1. Blend the Ingredients.

Garlic, shallots, ginger and fresh red chillies. 

Bryan thinks it's strange that the recipe does not 
include chillies, this being a chilly crab dish, 
so he's adding that into the blender.

2. Mix the Sauces.

Seasalt, brown sugar, chilly sauce, sesame seed oil, 
shoyu, brown rice venegar and tomato ketchup.

3. Prepare Cornflour & Egg.

Prepare a cornflour mixture to thicken the gravy 
and beat an egg in a separate bowl.
Fry the blended ingredients until fragrant.

Add the crabs and stir-fry.
Add the mixture of sauces.


Add some water.
Cover lid and allow to simmer. 


When the crabs are ready,
add pre-mixed cornflour and beaten egg.
Stir well. Transfer to serving dish.

Ta--DaHHH!!!

Garnish with coriander leaves. 
This dish is eaten with toasted bread. :D
