Ingredients

  • 1 (500 g) Fresh crab, cleaned
  • 4 Garlic cloves, minced
  • 1 tbsp Ginger, minced
  • 1 tsp Red chili flakes
  • 2 tbsp Tomato paste
  • 2 tbsp Soy sauce
  • 1 tsp Sugar
  • 1 tbsp Vinegar
  • 2 Egg whites
  • 1 cup Water

Method

  1. Heat a wide skillet over medium‑high heat, add a splash of oil, and sauté minced garlic and ginger until aromatic, about 1 minute.
  2. Add the red chili flakes and tomato paste, stirring continuously for 2 minutes until the mixture turns a deep red hue.
  3. Pour in soy sauce, sugar, vinegar, and water, then bring the sauce to a gentle boil, letting it reduce by half over 5 minutes.
  4. Stir in the egg whites, whisking constantly to create a silky, thickened sauce that coats the pan.
  5. Slide the cleaned crab into the skillet, turning to coat each shell with the sauce, then simmer for 8–10 minutes until the crab is tender and the sauce has thickened.
  6. Serve the chili crab hot, accompanied by steamed buns or rice to soak up the flavorful sauce.
