Recipe video above. Here's arguably the most famous crab recipe in the world: Singapore Chilli Crab! For the pinnacle of the experience, make this using fresh, live mud crab that you clean and cut yourself, or ask the fish shop to cut the crab for you (make sure they save the tomalley "crab mustard", Note 8). Be prepared to get messy eating it (half the fun!) – and to be surprised at how quick it is to make! Flavour: The sauce is a bit spicy but not excessively (Note 2 for adjustment). It is supposed to be a bit sweet, vinegary and intensely savoury. It gets massive flavour from the combination of crab juices, tomalley ("crab mustard", Note 8), belachan shrimp paste, and the soy bean paste! The traditional sauce has bits of egg ribbson in it, and includes ketchup - yes, really!Serves 3 - 4 as a meal with rice and some vegetables.
When one mention Singapore, who doesn't know Chilli crab? This popular seafood dish had been around since 1956. Fresh crabs stir-fried in a semi-thick. sweet, tangy, savory, tomato and chilli based sauce which will electrify your palate and satisfy your tastebuds. Arguably one of Singapore's greatest culinary inventions. If you are a fan of seafood, this is one dish that you must try while you're in Singapore. Don't get cheated by it's red and spicy look. Despite its name, chilli crab is NOT a very spicy dish. The spicy and tangy sauce is made deliciously fragrant with rempah (spices) and lime or calamansi juice, while corn starch and egg ribbons are added to give the chilli crab dish the fluffy texture at the end of the cooking process. For extra oomph, order some fried mantou to scoop up the thick gravy, which will leave you hankering for more. I adapted this recipe from Chef Master Classes on his World's BEST Singapore Chilli Crab Recipe, which he mentioned that his recipe is based on a food trip to Punggol Point, Singapore. I don't know how BEST this recipe would be. But by reading the recipe list, I think I wanna use this recipe as a reference. Also, Violet Oon is the brand ambassador of Singapore Food. So, her recipe as a guide will never go wrong I guess. Ingredients (Source : Chef Master Classes & Violet Oon's recipe, as a guide, with modification) 2 Mud Crabs or Meat Crabs (or Roe Crabs if you wish) - about 800g each 1 portion Rempah (Refer to below for recipe) 6 tbsp Tomato Ketchup 3 tbsp Sugar ½ tsp Salt 1 tsp Tau Cheo (fermented bean paste) 1½ tsp Corn Flour / Tapioca Flour + 1½ tbsp Water 5 tbsp Peanut Oil 1 cup Water (or more) 2 eggs, beaten some chinese parsley (garnishing) some chillies (garnishing) some spring onions (garnishing) Accompaniment Mantous (馒头) from the supermarket frozen section, thawed. Enough oil for deep-frying the Mantous (Mixture of 1 : 1 ratio of Butter + Peanut Oil) For the rempah (Spices) 6 Shallots 6 Garlic 5 Red Chillies 2 to 3 Bird Eye Chillies, depends on individual 2 Candle Nut 1 thumb sized Galangal (or replaced by Ginger if you don't have Galangal) ½ Green Lime, extract the juices (or use calamansi as alternative) 2 tbsp Belacan Powder (toast your own belacan if you can't find belacan powder) To prepare the rempah : Put everything in the chopper and blitz away until fine texture is achieved. To prepare the crab, I'd posted How to clean crabs video last month. Or, below photos shows you roughly how it is cleaned and prepared. And preparing crabs is NOT as difficult as what you imagined. Be COURAGEOUS!!! Get everything ready before start cooking is the rule. Always remember. Cooking chilli crab is not difficult. But preparing needs time. Cooking Method Heat oil in a wok until very hot. Fry rempah until fragrant. Add tau cheo, sugar, salt and tomato ketchup. Stir well. Add in crabs, stir well. Then, add water, stir, cover until crab shells turned bright red, indicating that the crab is cooked. Beat 2 eggs in a bowl, pour into the sauce at the side, gently mix well. Simmer for another 10 seconds, Heat off, dish up, garnish with coriander, spring onions and chillies. Serve with hot deep fried mantous. This recipe is good. It's a little messy, but worth it for sure. And you can always vary the recipe to your taste. You want it sweeter? Spicier? It's up to you! :) Max and I scarfed the whole plate of crabs down with all the mantous. It tastes so good with deep fried mantous and it is also good with a bowl of hot rice! Yummmss!!! Definitely recommended! Do share with me if you have any better recipe :) I am submitting this post to Asian Food Fest (Singapore) – September Month hosted by Grace Phua of Life can be Simple

Edith Bowman reveals her favourite, easy-to-make pasta recipe
You know, I'd eaten this a couple of times and made it myself (throwing in handfuls of peppery watercress as I did so) a few more before I realised it was, give or take, the River Cafe's recipe — by which I mean to say that although the amounts and full list of ingredients vary, it is an English seaside version of their fabulous original. I suppose that's how you know something's become a classic: it just seeps its way into the culinary language. Crab is, I think, hugely underrated — so much better than lobster, and much cheaper. You can use frozen crab meat for this, but it's best to get a fishmonger to cook and pick out the meat for you. For US cup measures, use the toggle at the top of the ingredients list.
