Crab, and its old friends, the Holy Trinity, are a classic combo, and so it was no surprise they worked so well in an Asian-style rice noodle dish - an experiment gone right. Garnish with sliced green onion.

Ingredients

3 cloves garlic, crushed
3 tablespoons ketchup
¼ cup seasoned rice vinegar
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon fish sauce
1 tablespoon hot sauce, or to taste
1 teaspoon paprika
½ teaspoon cayenne pepper
1 teaspoon ground cumin
8 ounces rice noodles
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
⅓ cup diced celery
⅓ cup minced red and green jalapenos
⅓ cup diced green onions
½ pound crabmeat

Steps:

Whisk garlic, ketchup, rice vinegar, soy sauce, fish sauce, hot sauce, paprika, cayenne pepper, and cumin together in a bowl.
Place rice noodles in a large bowl; cover with boiling water and stir with tongs. Let soak for 10 minutes.
While noodles soak, heat vegetable oil in a pan over medium-high heat. Cook and stir celery, jalapenos, and green onions until tender and fragrant, about 10 minutes.
Drain noodles and place in the pan; add the sauce and crabmeat. Cook and stir until noodles are coated evenly and everything is heated through, 2 to 3 minutes.
