 NO SALT CRABs with GLaSS NooDLES



Monday, June 13


Today is a special day.  :D

We are celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary and 
Carol's (my sister) birthday. :D

Bryan prepared this dish single-handedly. :D 

Don't get me wrong. I wanted to help. Just that, I fled the kitchen when he brought out the crabs and while waiting for him to put the crabs to sleep, I fell asleep myself.

This dish has absolutely NO salt whatsoever ... sea or otherwise.
 

 The Ingredients

Onions, garlic, ginger, chillis, tomatoes, 
baby corn, carrots, lime and lemon.

1. Kill the Crabs.



Refer to Entry 98 : Crabby Spaghetti

Fry Fry Fry ...

 Add crabs. 

Add corn, oyster mushrooms and tomatoes.

Add a mug of water. 

Cover the lid and simmer for about 5 minutes

or until crabs are cooked (turns red).




3. Add Noodles

Transfer the crabs to a dish.

Add glass noodles (pre-soaked) into the pan 

and allow the noodles to soak in the crab juices. 

Toss, stir and simmer to make sure the 

noodles are properly cooked. 

Glass noodles need to be well-cooked to avoid indigestion.
 
Return the crabs into the pan. 

Squeeze lime and lemon juice to give the dish a twang. 

Toss, toss, toss.



 Transfer to a large serving dish.

Garnish with coriander leaves and strips of chilli. 

This is an absolutely DELICIOUS no-salt dish !!!
