Ingredients
Quantity | Ingredient | |
---|---|---|
6 | Fresh hard-shell crabs; shelled; cleaned, and cut in half through the middle | |
Cornstarch | ||
Peanut oil | ||
10 | 3/4\" pieces green onion | |
1 | teaspoon | Garlic paste |
1 | teaspoon | Sesame oil |
1 | tablespoon | Black beans |
1 | dash | White pepper |
⅓ | cup | Rice wine |
1¼ | cup | Basic stock or water |
Directions
Thoroughly coat the crab halves in the cornstarch. Pour peanut oil in a wok to about 5 inches in depth and heat until almost smoking. Add the crab and deep-fry for 1-½ to 2 minutes, stirring often. Be sure to stir crab halves constantly in the hot oil, if they are to retain their juices and not become soggy. Deep-fry in two batches if necessary. Remove immediately and place in a strainer set over a metal bowl to drain. Pour off the hot oil from the wok. Reheat wok. Return about 2 tablespoons of the peanut oil to the hot wok and stir-fry the green onions with the garlic paste, sesame oil, black beans, and white pepper about 1 minute. Return the crabs to the wok and stir-fry 2 or 3 minuted longer. Add the wine and Basic Stock, place the cover on the wok, and cook until about ¾ cup of the liquid remains.
Dissolve 1 teaspoon cornstarch in ¼ cup cold water. Add the dissolved cornstarch to the wok and stir constantly until the sauce thickens. Remove from heat and serve at once.
