SINGAPORE BLACK PEPPER CRAB



Singapore Black Pepper Crab image

From the cookbook Spice It - given to me recently as a present by my ex husband! I have developed a real love of crabs and am pretty handy at catching and dispatching of them now days. It's a great way to fill in a few hours: catching, cooking, cleaning and picking or eating them and makes me feel like a real "hunter and gatherer"!

Time 40m

Yield 4 serving(s)

Number Of Ingredients 14

3 tablespoons ketjap manis
3 tablespoons oyster sauce
3 tablespoons caster sugar
2 kg raw blue swimmer crabs
1 1/2 tablespoons oil
1 1/2 tablespoons butter
1 1/2 tablespoons grated fresh ginger
6 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 -2 red chile, finely chopped
1 1/2 tablespoons black pepper
1 1/2 teaspoons white pepper
1/4 teaspoon ground coriander
2 spring onions, finely chopped
1/4 cup chopped fresh coriander

Steps:

  • Put kecap manis, oyster sauce, sugar and 3 tablespoons water in a small bowl, stir, then set aside.
  • Pull back the apron of each crab, remove top shell, then intestines and feathery gills. Rinse quickly.
  • Cut each crab into quarters and crack the legs gently (I use a meat mallet) so the flavours can enter.
  • Heat the oil in a very large wok over high heat; add the crab pieces and stir fry in batches until the shell is bright orange and the meat almost cooked (about 5 minutes). Remove and repeat until all is cooked.
  • Add the butter, ginger, garlic, chilli, black and white peppers and coriander to the wok; stir fry 30 seconds.
  • Add the sauce mixture and stir; bring to the boil, then simmer 2 minutes.
  • Return the crab to the wok and toss to coat in the sauce.
  • Cook a further 2-3 minutes to finish cooking the crab then garnish with the spring onions and coriander leaves.
  • Serve at once.
