I was going to feature my third recipe using red bean paste today, but I changed my mind because I have a dish which is way more interesting to share–black pepper crab!

The crab is all happily mingled with loads of butter, dried shrimp, aromatic curry leaves, bird’s-eye chilies, and other seasonings.
Black pepper crab to Malaysians is like chili crab to Singaporeans (in my opinion); ask any Malaysian and I am sure they have had their fair share and taste of this wonderful black pepper crab dish…

This black pepper crab recipe is adapted from Authentic Recipes from Malaysia.
(If you are serious about Malaysian food, this is the cookbook you should buy.) It’s over-the-top delicious and as good as (if not better than) what you get from restaurants. A must-try.

I used stone crab for this recipe because I just love the big, juicy, and succulent claws of stone crabs, and this back pepper crab recipe is perfect for those claws!Black Pepper Crab

Thank you for the recipe.
1) For the Salted soy beans, do you use the dry black ones with grains of salt coating it? Or the wet yellowish/brown type?
2) For your black soy sauce, do you use the thick sticky type or the runny black soy sauce?
Thank you.
Rasa Malaysia
Yellowish. Black soy sauce, both can be used.

I’ve been making this Sauce for many years with Black Salted Soybeans and Kecap Manis/Sweet Soy Sauce. Usually using as a Marinade for grilling Shrimp on skewers. I used the yellow Salted Beans also depending on what I could get, great either way😎
