Me , a crab friend , crab-rice is one of my much loved dish of it’s characterizing delicate flavors , a light touch with the fragrant of the banana leaves adds the perfect fresh flavor, nice and easy so and so as usual , an ultra delicious Asian style meal in minutes once a while happily on my dinning plate , why not especially when there is a sale on crabs 🦀?
Ingredients:
1: two Vancouver meat crabs
2: freshly cooked rice or well chilled rice ( two cups of rice portions here.)
3: 2-3 pieces banana leaves , wash and oiled , set aside.
4: a bamboo steamer.. sized 12 inches
5: some ..minced ginger , garlic and shallots for cooking fry rice.
6: some shredded green onion and ginger for enhanced crab flavor.
Steps~
1: heat wok with 2 tablespoons cooking oil , medium heat and sautéed ginger, garlic and shallots till fragrant..
2: add the cooked rice onto the wok and stir fried rice , mixed well, salt and soy sauce to taste.. ( 1 teaspoon each here )
3: dish up the rice evenly on a banana leaves topped bamboo steamer , ready to steam.
4: wash and chop the crabs accordingly to even pieces , again place it evenly on top of the well prepared rice , freely add shredded ginger and green onion slices , set aside.
*** I like to kill the crabs inside the sink with hot running water , 😆then use a sharp small knife to penetrate the base of the stomach , then chop into pieces…😁
5: steam the ‘crab on rice ‘ steamer on boiling water for 5minutes …
Turn off the heat and rest 5 minutes more.
6: on a small pan , fry some diced garlic with 2 tablespoons oil till fragrant, turn off the heat , add 2 tablespoons soy sauce as seasoning , dish up and set aside.
6: dash the oiled soy sauce onto the crabs or separately on a plate to serve. Done and enjoy.
Tips~ keep the seasoning very light allows the original flavor of rice and crab to come through.
