ALASKA KING CRAB STIR-FRY RECIPE



Alaska King Crab Stir-Fry Recipe image

Provided by á-170456

Number Of Ingredients 10

12 ounces king crab split legs thawed if necessary
2 cups sliced fresh mushrooms
1 cup vertically sliced onion
1 small garlic clove minced
2 tablespoons oil
1 cup fresh Chinese pea pods
(or thawed 6-oz pkg frozen Chinese pea pods)
3/4 cup diced tomato
1 teaspoon cornstarch
1 tablespoon cold water

Steps:

  • Cut crab legs into 2 1/2- to 3-inch pieces. Sauté mushrooms, onion and garlic in oil until slightly softened. Add crab, pea pods and tomato; stir-fry until vegetables are crisp-tender and crab is thoroughly heated. Blend cornstarch and water; stir into pan juices. Cook and stir until juices are thickened and clear. This recipe yields 2 servings. Recipe can be doubled.

Tips:

  • Choose fresh, high-quality king crab legs. Look for legs that are bright red and have a firm texture. Avoid any legs that are brown or have a slimy texture.
  • Thaw the king crab legs properly. If the crab legs are frozen, thaw them in the refrigerator overnight or in a bowl of cold water for 30 minutes.
  • Clean the king crab legs. Use a pair of kitchen shears to cut the crab legs into 2-inch pieces. Then, use a seafood cracker or mallet to crack the shells and remove the meat.
  • Marinate the king crab legs. This is an optional step, but it will help to add flavor to the crab. Combine the crab legs, soy sauce, rice wine, ginger, garlic, and green onions in a bowl and let them marinate for at least 30 minutes.
  • Cook the king crab legs. Heat a large skillet or wok over medium-high heat. Add the oil and then the crab legs. Cook the crab legs for 5-7 minutes, or until they are heated through.
  • Serve the king crab legs. Transfer the crab legs to a serving platter and garnish with green onions and sesame seeds. Serve with dipping sauce, such as soy sauce, melted butter, or lemon juice.
