Ingredients

  • 8 oz (230g) crab claws
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup tomato sauce
  • 1 tablespoon chili sauce
  • 1/2 beaten egg
  • 1/2 teaspoon oyster sauce or soy sauce
  • 1/2 teaspoon sugar
  • 1/2 cup water
  • 1/2 tsp corn starch
  • 1 1/2 tablespoons oil
  • 1 ginger finely chopped
  • 1 garlic finely chopped
  • Some chopped cilantro coriander leaves

Instructions

  • Rinse the crab claws with cold water and pat dry with paper towels.
  • Heat up a wok and add the cooking oil. When the oil is heated, add the chopped garlic and ginger and stir-fry until aromatic, then follow by the crab claws. Quickly stir the crab claws a few times before adding the ketchup, chili sauce, oyster sauce, and sugar.
  • Toss the crab claws around with the spatula before adding water. Bring the sauce to boil and then add the beaten egg. Let it cook for about 1 minute or until the egg is set. Stir the egg around, dish out and garnish with chopped cilantro. Serve immediately with steamed white rice.

Notes

For the chili sauce, I recommend Lingham's Hot Sauce, where you can find it online here.
