Photo: Asian Crab Recipe
Ingredients
- 1/4 cup canola oil
- 1 pound Dungeness crab, in shell (or king crab, or shell on 1-pound (21/25 count) shrimp for substitute)
- 3 tablespoons hoisin sauce
- 1 tablespoon chile hot sauce (recommended: Sriracha)
- 3 tablespoons black bean garlic paste
- 1/4 cup white wine
- 1 teaspoon sesame oil
- 1 tablespoon sesame seeds, toasted
- 2 tablespoons green onions, sliced
Directions
In a large wok, heat canola oil over medium-high heat.
Crack crab shells in multiple areas to allow sauce to enter shell without crab shells falling apart.
Add crab to oil and quickly saute for 1 to 3 minutes until crab is hot. Remove crab and drain oil.
Add hoisin, chile hot sauce, black bean paste, and white wine and heat until bubbling. Add crab, toss for 30 seconds. Add sesame oil, and toss for 15 seconds.
Remove to plate and garnish with sesame seeds and green onions.

This recipe is delicious, so much so we have had it twice in two weeks. I have all the ingredients on hand, so I just have to buy two dungeness crabs at the market and whip this up in a few short minutes. For two crabs, I only use 2 T hoisin, 2 T black bean garlic, 3/4 T sriracha, and 1 1/2 T white wine and it comes out perfect.
Vince, we don't care to hear about your excapades with Thailand prostitutes, nor do we think you're funny. If you're not herer to rate the recipe, don't bother.
