1Tablespoonroasted chili paste oilfrom the top of the jar
3green onionssliced thinly
1cupChinese celery leaves
Instructions
If you are starting with live crab, steam for approximately 20-25 minutes until the meat is cooked. Crack the crab to obtain all of the meat. Two medium-sized Dungeness crabs should be enough to yield 2 cups of meat.
Prepare your vegetables by mincing the garlic, cutting the onion into large slices, and slicing the jalapeno pepper on the diagonal. Slice the green onion into inch lengths and pick and save the leaves of the Chinese celery for use later.
Make the curry sauce by combining the eggs, milk, sugar, curry powder, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and roasted chili paste and oil. Whisk together until all ingredients are mixed and the eggs are fluffy. If you don't have roasted chili paste oil, use 2 Tablespoons of the paste, but omit the sugar.
Heat a wok over medium-high heat and add a bit of a mild-flavored oil such as canola. Saute the garlic, white onion, and jalapeno slices until the garlic is golden brown and the onion is slightly translucent.
Next add the curry sauce to the wok and allow to cook for a minute or two. Then add the crab meat and stir into the sauce. The eggs in the sauce should be firming up. Continue to cook until the eggs are cooked thoroughly.
Finish the dish by mixing in the green onions and Chinese celery. Cook just long enough to wilt the greens, then take the wok off the heat.
Serve this crab curry stir fry over a bed of hot jasmine rice, and enjoy!
