By MooK

Ingredients

• 1 tablespoon canola oil
• 5 cloves garlic, finely chopped
• 8 shallots, finely chopped
• 1 large knob ginger root, finely chopped
• 1 tablespoon chili sauce
• 2 tablespoons soy sauce
• 1/4 teaspoon salt
• 1 tablespoon sugar
• 2 tablespoons rice vinegar
• 4 tablespoons tomato paste
• 1 teaspoon sesame oil
• 1 cup water
• 1 tablespoon honey
• 1 teaspoon fish sauce
• 1/4 pound crab meat, picked over for cartilage
• 1 egg, beaten

Preparation

Step 1

Finely chop garlic, shallots and ginger and sweat in a saucepan with a little canola oil till translucent. 
Add all the ingredients except for the crab meat. Simmer for 20 minutes. 

Season to taste with salt and chili sauce
Add picked crab meat.

Add beaten egg and stir the mixture around a little. Some of the egg will “scramble” and the rest will incorporate into the sauce, thickening it.
Serve with white bread or fried steamed buns.
