Chilli Crab

Always wanted to try cooking this, Singaporean's favourite dish - CHILLI CRAB but the chi cha stall outside used sambal chilli as base. Knowing that I am too lazy to pound the chilli myself, i tried my cousin's recipe which my fridge will have all the ingredients required. Conclusion? Not bad but not as spicy and fragnant. You can use Maggi Chilli Padi Sauce if you prefers a spicier taste.



INGREDIENTS:
2 medium crabs
4 tablespoons of Maggi Chilli Sauce
3 tablespoons of Maggi Tomato Sauce
2 tablespoons of oyster sauce
2 tablespoons of chopped garlic
1 tablespoon of spring onion
2 eggs
Chilli powder
Black pepper
Half cup of water
Cornstarch mixture (cornflour+water)


DIRECTIONS:
- Season the crabs with chilli powder and black pepper.
- Sautee the garlic in medium fire.
- Put in the crab and stir well. Cover with lid for 5-10 minutes.
- Put the chilli sauce, tomato sauce, oyster sauce, water and pepper in a bowl.
- Add in beaten eggs and stir well.
- Add the cornstarch mixture bit by bit till gravy thicken.
- Garnishee with spring onion
