Yield 4 servings

Number Of Ingredients 12

2 Dungeness crab, shell off (save shells), claws cracked and body chopped up into 2-inch pieces
2 cups cornstarch, for dusting and to make a slurry with 1 tablespoon
3 cups peanut oil
1 1/2 tablespoons rinsed fermented black beans, chopped
4 large slices bruised ginger
8 cloves garlic, thinly sliced
5 scallions, chopped into 2-inch pieces
1/4 cup shaoxing(cooking wine)
1 tablespoon naturally brewed soy sauce
2 cups chicken stock
Salt and white pepper, to taste
Small pot cooked Chinese rice

Steps:

  • In a large wok, bring peanut oil to high temperature. Dust the crab pieces with cornstarch and a little salt. Shallow fry the crab for only 1 to 2 minutes until the crab shells turn red. Drain on paper towels. Do the same with the 2 shells. Reserve oil and wipe wok clean. Add 2 tablespoons oil back to the wok on high heat. Stir-fry the beans, ginger, garlic and scallions for 1 minute until soft. Add back the crab and deglaze with shaoxing and add soy and stock. Check for seasoning and bring to a boil. Thicken with the slurry and cook 30 more seconds. Serve immediately with the cooked shells.
  • PLATING On a large oval, place the 2 shells down near both ends. Fill with hot rice. Mound the crab between the shells. Enjoy with your fingers. Can also serve with lemon finger bowls.
  • Wine suggestion: Marsanne, Bois du Renard, Languedoc 1998

The crab was overcooked and the sauce was too thin.

This recipe is a bit bland for my taste. I would recommend adding some additional spices or herbs to give it more flavor.

This is a great recipe for a quick and easy weeknight meal. The crab cooks in just a few minutes and the sauce is made with simple ingredients that you probably already have on hand.
