#115 : Sweet Sour Crabs: recipe#81



I
think it has been 2 years or so that we didn't eat crabs. You see, eating crabs need patience and also it is time consuming. My hubby had been telling me about his craving for these sea creatures for sometime now , so after I had my exercise ( LOL!) today, I bought 2 kilogrammes of Crab, 1 kilo of squids and 1 large "tenggiri". I also bought "lemiding" and "sayur nangka" . Here's what I did to the crabs:

Ingredients:
2 kilograms crab -intestine , gills and carapace removed, boiled and keep aside.
2 tbsp chopped ginger
2 tbsp chopped garlic
1 Spanish onion, sliced
2 lemon grass
1/2 cup sweet chili sauce
3 dsp spicy taucho ( soy bean paste)
chicken stock powder
corn flour slurry
2 tomatoes- cut into wedges.
fried shallots

steps:
1. In a large wok, add oil.
2. add in the chopped ginger, garlic ,onion and lemon grass.
3. add in the chili sauce and taucho, stir till combine
4. when the sauce has thicken, add in the crabs add in some water and cover wok for at least 5 minutes.
5. add corn slurry and adjust flavouring with chicken stock powder.
6. If the gravy has thicken and able to coat the crabs, dish up.

I also cooked these for lunch... btw,to Aziah, if you read this post, the chicken is similar to the ones that we had on Thursday but without sesame seeds :)
