Savory Stir-fried Crab with Ginger and Scallion recipe offers a vibrant harmony of flavors made with fresh crab, zesty ginger, and crispy scallions.

Ingredients

Scale
  • 2 Live Crabs
  • 2 tbsp Shaoxing Wine
  • 1 tbsp Light Soy Sauce
  • 1.5 tbsp Oyster Sauce
  • 0.5 cup Water
  • 4–5 stalks Scallions
  • 1.5 oz Peeled Ginger
  • 2–3 tbsp Cornstarch
  • Cooking Oil

Instructions

  1. Place the live crabs in the freezer for 15-20 minutes to immobilize. Rinse under cold water to remove debris and gills. Cut the crabs in half or quarters and crack the claws and legs.
  2. Slice the scallions into 2-inch pieces, keeping the white and green parts separate. Thinly slice the ginger.
  3. Heat oil in a large skillet over medium heat until it shimmers. Dredge crab pieces in cornstarch and fry until golden brown, about 3 minutes on each side. Remove and set aside.
  4. In the same skillet, retain about a tablespoon of oil and stir-fry ginger and the white scallion parts for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.
  5. Return the crispy crab to the skillet, add Shaoxing wine, then light soy sauce, oyster sauce, water, and stir well. Cover and simmer for 4-5 minutes.
  6. Remove the lid, stir in the green scallion parts, and cook for another minute until wilted. Remove from heat and serve immediately.
