Ingredients

Gather the following ingredients to prepare your very own Singapore Chilli Crab:

2 whole crabs (about 800-1000g each)
2 tablespoons vegetable oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1 tablespoon ginger, minced
2-3 red chilli peppers, chopped (adjust to your spice preference)
1/2 cup tomato ketchup
1/4 cup sweet chili sauce
1 tablespoon soy sauce
1 tablespoon oyster sauce
1 tablespoon corn starch mixed with 2 tablespoons water (for thickening)
1 tablespoon vinegar
1/2 cup water
Chopped spring onions for garnish

Instructions

Follow these simple steps to create your delicious Singapore Chilli Crab:

Clean the crabs well by rinsing them under cold water. Remove the shell and gills, and cut the crabs into quarters.
In a large wok or deep pan, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add minced garlic and ginger, and sauté until fragrant.
Add the chopped chilli peppers and stir-fry for a minute.
Stir in the tomato ketchup, sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and vinegar. Mix well to create a thick sauce.
Add the crabs to the sauce, and stir to coat each piece evenly. Pour in half a cup of water and bring the mixture to a boil.
Lower the heat and let it simmer for about 10-15 minutes, allowing the crabs to absorb the flavors. Stir occasionally.
Once the crabs are cooked through, slowly add the cornstarch mixture to the pan and stir continuously until the sauce thickens.
Garnish with chopped spring onions just before serving.

Serve your delicious Singapore Chilli Crab with warm steamed buns or rice, and enjoy the explosion of flavors with every bite. Your taste buds are in for a real treat!
