CHILI CRAB IN SALTED EGGS AND KAFFIR LIME LEAF CREAMY SAUCE
To continue with my food journey and new discovery of mouth watering dishes and truly very Asian style of cooking, I will share to you my version of CHILI CRAB IN SALTED EGGS AND KAFFIR LIME LEAF CREAMY SAUCE. I made my own version of this dish and did some substitution of the ingredients not available in our local market and even in any Asian store here that you can find. Now check out the ingredients:
INGREDIENTS:
1 Kilo Crab medium to large size
5 salted eggs (remove the eggwhite)
1/2 cup butter
1/2 cup flour
1/4 cup minced garlic
5-10 pieces of Kaffir Lime Leaf (instead of curry leaf)
Sliced ginger
1 whole medium sized onions
Salt and pepper to taste
Chili powder
Chili flakes
Green and red chilis
1 cup evaporated milk
Cellery and green onions for garnishing
PROCEDURE:
- Clean the crabs and cut it into two as shown in the image. Add the flour to coat it. Toss several times to fully coat the rest of the other crabs.
2. Then fry it over until it changes its color. when it turns red, it is already cooked. Once all the crabs has been fried, set it aside.
3. In a pan, put butter until it melts but don't burn it, immediately put the Kaffir lime leaf over the butter followed by ginger, garlic and onions.
4. Add the salted egg (do not include the egg white), season with salt and pepper, then add the chili powder and chili flakes. Less is more. Adjust the heat level that will only suit your taste. Do not put chili if you are serving this with a kid.
5. Pour in the milk and stir until it is well blended and cooked. Top it with celery and green onions. Enjoy cooking!
