By krystallondon

Ingredients

• 3 Dungeness crabs, each about 1 kg
• 2 tbsp vegetable oil
• 2 garlic cloves, minced
• 2 finely chopped red Thai chilies, seeds removed
• 2 tbsp grated fresh ginger
• 2 green onions, chopped
• 1/2 bunch cilantro, chopped, about 1 cup
• juice of 1 lime
• 1/8 tsp each salt and pepper

Preparation

Step 1

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

2. 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.
