Recipe Summary Singapore Chili Crabs
Living in San Francisco, I've had more than my fair share of crab, prepared in more ways than I can remember. I've never enjoyed it more than in this Singapore-style chili crabs recipe. Just be sure to have lots of napkins around. My friends in Singapore tell me they serve this with at least twice the amount of sauce, and a type of fried roll to soak up the goodness with. So, if you want to rock the chili crab like a Singaporean, then you should probably double the sauce ingredients!Ingredients | Cheese Cupcake Recipe Singapore½ cup ketchup½ cup chicken broth1 large egg2 tablespoons soy sauce2 tablespoons chile-garlic sauce (such as sambal oelek)1 tablespoon oyster sauce1 tablespoon tamarind paste2 teaspoons fish sauce2 teaspoons palm sugar¼ cup minced shallot6 cloves garlic, minced2 tablespoons vegetable oil, or more as needed2 tablespoons minced fresh ginger root1 tablespoon minced serrano pepper2 cooked Dungeness crabs, cleaned and cracked2 tablespoons chopped fresh cilantro2 tablespoons sliced green onion (green part only)DirectionsWhisk ketchup, chicken broth, egg, soy sauce, chile-garlic sauce, oyster sauce, tamarind paste, fish sauce, and palm sugar together in a bowl.Stir shallots, garlic, oil, ginger, and serrano pepper together in a pot over medium-high heat.
