My version...
500g king crab legs
170ml (6 fl oz/2/3 cup) coconut milk
1 Tbsp light soy sauce
½ Tbsp oyster sauce
2 tsp Thai curry powder
¼ tsp sugar
2 Tbsp vegetable oil
3-4 garlic cloves, finely chopped
1 small onion, cut into 3 wedges
2 spring onions, thinly sliced
½ long red chilli, seeded and thinly sliced for garnish
Cilantro for garnish
Using crackers or a hammer, crack the legs and claws to make them easier to eat. Mix coconut milk, light soy sauce, oyster sauce, curry powder and sugar in a bowl.
Heat the oil in a wok or frying pan. Stir-fry the garlic over medium
heat until light brown. Add the crab and stir-fry for 4-5 minutes. Add
the coconut mixture and onion and continue stir-frying for another 5-7
minutes, or until the crab meat is cooked through and the sauce is reduced
and very thick. Add the spring onions. Taste, then adjust the seasoning
if necessary. Spoon onto a serving plate and sprinkle with sliced chilli
and cilantro.
