This is a long standing favorite in my family. If we don't have crab we use tiger prawns/shrimp. Served with white rice it's finger licking good! Ingredients:
1 tablespoon chopped fresh cilantro |
1 1/2 tablespoons finely chopped garlic |
1/3 cup minced green onion |
1 teaspoon minced ginger |
3/4 cup soy sauce (regular or reduced sodium) |
1/2 cup honey |
3 cooked dungeness crabs, cleaned and cracked (4 3/4 to 5 1/2 lb. total) |
1/4 cup peppercorn |
3 tablespoons peanut oil or 3 tablespoons salad oil |
Directions:
1. In a large bowl, combine cilantro, garlic, onions, ginger, soy, and honey. Add crab pieces. Cover and chill 15 minutes to 1 hour, turning crab often.
2. Coarsely grind pepper in a coffee grinder or crush with a rolling pin.
3. Pour oil into a 14-inch wok or 6- to 8-quart pan over medium-high heat. Pour crab, marinade, and 1 1/2 tablespoons pepper into wok. Stir often until crab is steaming hot, about 5 minutes.
4. Sprinkle remaining pepper over crab and mix well. Ladle crab and juices into bowls.
