Easy Singapore-Style Chili Crab 新加坡辣椒螃蟹

Chilli crab has been promoted by The Singapore Tourism Board as one of Singapore's National Dishes, and can be found in seafood restaurants all over the island. A seafood dish that loved by the locals as well as tourists. Mud crabs are commonly used and are stir fried and simmered in a flavourful, savoury sweet tomato and chili based sauce. Despite its name, chili crab is not a very spicy dish. The gravy is best eaten with steamed or deep fried bun (mantou).

Cooking Chili Crab at home is never easy if you prepare everything from scratch because the gravy required a little bit of many kinds such as galangal, ginger, lemongrass stalk, candlenuts, dried chilli, red finger chillies, chilli padi, shallots etc. My cooking is always simple, so this recipe that I'm sharing is super easy for home cooks to replicate this dish at home. 

 This is best eaten with your fingers!

This is the wok that I used to cook crab or any seafood that may scratch my non stick pan. It is a flat based 30cm multiply stainless steel wok without chemical coating, which is safe to be used in any cooking and it's perfect for stir-frying crab. 

FEATURES:

• - Multiply stainless steel
• - Lightweight
• - Multi-functional (use as a hotpot; pan-fry, stir-fry & steam)
• - Suitable on various types of cooker (gas, induction, infrared, ceramic, electric, oven)
• - Energy saving
• - Economically effifient
• - Environmentally friendly

这是一道深受本地人和游客喜爱的新加坡名菜，辣椒螃蟹是以番茄酱和辣椒搭配调味，甜中带一点辣，同时带出螃蟹的鲜味。在家煮这道螃蟹可以很复杂也可以很简单。当然，我用的都是简单化的食谱。
