From my
previous post I've shared to you how an alive crab been bad to me, so now I will tell you how Mr. Crab turned into a yummy dish.
 |
| This stall caught my attention that made me bought a kilo of fresh crabs. |
 |
| one of them is not so nice, hit my hands by its claws and then made me wounded.OUCH! |
For revenge....I'm the one who cooked them LOL
 |
| Cauliflower,carrots, green bell pepper |
 |
| butter,oyster sauce,onions and garlic |
Here's how:
- I boiled the crabs first for 10 minutes.
- Using the butter I sauteed the chopped onion, garlic,cauliflower and carrots together and then added the boiled crabs.
- I put 2 cups of crab's stock, a sachet of oyster sauce, a teaspoon of salt, a pinch of ground pepper, brown sugar and chili powder, covered and simmered.
- To make the sauce thick I dissolved 2 tablespoons of flour in a little water and mixed it to the sauce while stirring.
- I put the green bell pepper, boiled it for 3 minutes and then FINITO. :D

I made my own version of Thai mango salad to pair it with the crab...
I just cut the green mango into strips.

| green mango |
Here's how:
I just added chopped string onions on top of mango strips.For the sauce/dressing I extracted 6 pieces of fresh calamansi (lime) mixed it with 2 tablespoons of patis (fish sauce) and 1 tablespoon of brown sugar. I poured the sauce on it and then topped it with ground peanuts and a teaspoon of chili powder and Taaaadaaaa!
