Ingredients

    • 4-6 soft shell crabs
    • ½ cup corn starch
    • 2” ginger, peeled, cut into matchsticks
    • 1 bunch of scallions, cut into 2” sections, whites included
    • 1 large jalapeno (or hot peppers of your choice)

    Sauce

    • 3 tbsp oyster sauce
    • 1/4t tsp white pepper, ground
    • 1 tsp sesame oil
    • 1 tsp sugar
    • 4 tbsp water

    • 1 tsp fish sauce
    • 1 tbsp shaoxing cooking wine

Steps

    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.

    5. Pour sauce over everything in the pan. Stir until evenly coated.
