Singapore Chilli Crab

2.0

¼ cup vegetable oil

1 large mud crab, cleaned

¼ tsp salt

1 cup tomato passata

1 cup stock or water

2 tbsp palm sugar

1 tbsp white vinegar

1 tbsp soy sauce

3 spring onions, cut into 5cm lengths

1 tsp cornflour mixed with 2 tbsp cold water

1 egg, beaten

½ cup loosely packed coriander, to serve

1 bird's eye chilli, to serve

Prepare the crab by dispatching it humanely, then pull the top shell (carapace) away from the body and discard the gills but reserve any of the yellowish tomalley from the head. Twist off the claws then divide the body into four pieces with two legs on each piece.
Blend the ingredients for the base paste to a smooth paste. Heat a wok over medium heat and add the oil. Fry the paste for about five minutes until fragrant and the oil separates from the solids.
Add the crab (including the shell) and salt and toss until the crab starts to change colour. Add the passata, stock, sugar, vinegar and soy sauce and toss to coat. Stir in the crab tomalley. Cover the wok and simmer the crab for 10 minutes. Add the spring onions and toss through. Taste the sauce and adjust seasoning. Drizzle the cornflour mixture slowly into the wok while stirring, then drizzle the egg mixture slowly into the wok while stirring.
Remove the crab and sauce to a plate, scatter with coriander and sliced chilli and serve.
