Ingredients

  • 3 Dungeness crabs, each about 1 kg

  • 2 tbsp vegetable oil

  • 2 garlic cloves

  • 2 finely chopped red Thai chilies, seeds removed

  • 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger

  • 2 green onions, chopped

  • 1/2 bunch cilantro, about 1 cup chopped

  • lime juice, from 1 lime

  • 1/8 tsp pepper

Instructions

  • Prepare and cook crabs using our Best Boiled Crab recipe, which can be found in the recipe file.

  • Heat oil in a large non-stick frying pan or wok over medium. Add garlic, chili and ginger. Cook until fragrant, 3 min. Add cooked crabmeat and any juices (and crab butter if you like a richer sauce). Cook until heated through. Then stir in onions, cilantro, lime juice, salt and pepper. Taste and add more seasoning, if you wish. Remove to a platter.
