Time 16m

Yield 2 servings

Number Of Ingredients 14

6 medium soft-shell crabs (cleaned)
1 1/2 tablespoons Chinese salted black beans (see note)
2 tablespoons Chinese rice wine or dry sherry
2 cloves garlic, minced (any green part removed)
2 tablespoons fresh ginger, minced
2 scallions, chopped
1/2 teaspoon dried hot pepper flakes
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1/4 teaspoon sugar
1/2 cup chicken stock
2 tablespoons peanut or vegetable oil
1 teaspoon cornstarch dissolved in 1 tablespoon water
1 teaspoon sesame oil
2 tablespoons fresh coriander, chopped

Steps:

  • Pat the crabs dry with paper towels and set aside.
  • Chop the black beans and combine with the rice wine, garlic, ginger and scallions. Set aside.
  • In a separate bowl, combine the hot pepper flakes, soy sauce, sugar and chicken stock. Set aside.
  • Heat the peanut or vegetable oil in a large wok or skillet and add the crabs. Stir fry for about three minutes over medium heat. Add the black-bean mixture and continue stir-frying for about one minute.
  • Add the soy-sauce mixture, stir and bring to boil. Cover the pan and cook for two minutes. Then add the cornstarch mixture and stir until the sauce thickens and becomes glossy. Correct seasoning (you may wish to add more soy sauce or pepper) and add the sesame oil. Remove from heat and place on heated plates. Sprinkle with coriander and serve.

I tried this stir-fried crab with black bean sauce and it was just okay. The crabs were a bit tough and the sauce was too salty. I think I'll try a different recipe next time.

This stir-fried crab with black bean sauce was a disappointment. The crabs were overcooked and the sauce was bland. I followed the recipe exactly, but it just didn't turn out well. I wouldn't recommend this recipe.
