1 cup water
2 tablespoons cornstarch
¾ teaspoon dark soy sauce
5 tablespoons vegetable oil
7 cloves garlic, crushed
2 tablespoons chopped shallots
10 red chili peppers, pounded with seeds

This was the best chili (crab) I have had in a long time. The sauce was thick and flavorful, and the sweetness of the prawns was a perfect complement to the heat of the chili. I will definitely be making this again soon.
