How to Make Fried Chilli Crabs
- Clean the crabs thoroughly, removing any unwanted parts. (approx 10 mins)
- Heat 1/2 cup of vegetable oil in a large wok or frying pan over medium-high heat.
- Carefully place the crabs into the hot oil, ensuring not to overcrowd the pan. Fry for about 5-7 minutes per side, until golden brown and crispy.
- In a separate bowl, whisk together 1/4 cup of chilli garlic sauce, 2 tablespoons of soy sauce, 1 tablespoon of rice wine vinegar, 1 teaspoon of ginger paste, and 1/2 teaspoon of sesame oil.
- Once the crabs are fried, remove them from the pan and set aside.
- Pour off excess oil from the wok, leaving about 1 tablespoon.
- Add the chilli sauce mixture to the wok and bring to a simmer.
- Return the fried crabs to the wok, coating them evenly in the sauce.
- Cook for another 2-3 minutes, allowing the sauce to thicken slightly.
- Garnish with chopped spring onions and serve immediately with steamed rice.
