Recipes From Roma’s Kitchen
CHILLI CRABS
INGREDIENTS
2 Cooked crabs, about 1/2 lbs
1/2″ cube shrimp paste
2 cloves garlic
2 fresh red chillies, seeded or
1 teaspoon chopped chili from a jar
1/2 ” fresh ginger root, peeled and sliced
4 tablespoons sunflower oil
1 1/4 cups tomato ketchup
1 Tablespoon dark brown sugar
1/2 cup warm water
4 scallions, chopped to garnish cucumber
chunks and hot toast, to serve (optional)
Method
1.Remove the claws of one crab and turn it onto
its back with the head facing away from you. Use
use your thumbs to push the body up from the main
shell. Discard the stomach sac and “dead men’s fingers,”
i.e. lungs and any green matter. Leave the creamy brown
meat in the shell and cut the shell in half with a cleaver or
very sharp knife. Cut the body section in half and crack the
claws with a hard blow from a hammer or cleaver. Avoid
splintering the claws. Repeat with the other crab.
2.Grind the shrimp paste, garlic, chillies and ginger to a paste with a pestle and mortar.*(I have an extra coffee grinder that is great for these small jobs)
- Heat a wok and add the oil. fry the spice paste, stirring
constantly, without browning.
Stir in the tomato ketchup, sugar and water and mix the sauce well. When just boiling, add all the crab pieces and toss in the sauce until well coated and hot. Serve in a large bowl, sprinkle with the spring onions. Place in the center of the table for every one to help themselves. Accompany this finger-licking dish with cool cucumber chunks and hot toast for mopping up the sauce, if you like.
