Ingredients

  1. 2 soft-shell crabs, cleaned and halved
  2. 1/4 cup cornflour
  3. Salt
  4. Black pepper
  5. Vegetable oil for frying
  6. 1 tablespoon soy sauce
  7. 1 tablespoon rice vinegar
  8. 1 tablespoon honey
  9. 1 tablespoon grated ginger
  10. 2 scallions, finely chopped
  11. 1 garlic clove, minced
  12. 1 teaspoon sesame oil
  13. 1/2 teaspoon chili flakes (optional)

Method

  1. Combine all ingredients for sauce and mix well.
  2. Prep crabs by removing face, gills, and abdominal flap. Cut in half vertically.
  3. Heat a large wok or high-sided pan on high heat, add ~⅛” of oil to the pan. Lightly dredge the crabs in corn starch and shake off excess. Fry in hot oil for 2 minutes. Flip crabs using a spatula. The shells should be bright red. There will be some starch stuck to the pan, use a metal spatula to scrape loose. Cook for 2 more minutes.
  4. Add ginger, scallions, and jalapeno to the pan with the crab. Stir and cook for ~2 minutes until very fragrant.
  5. Pour sauce over everything in the pan. Stir until evenly coated.
