Chili Dungeness Crabs Dip


To all my readers, I would like to wish you all a very Happy Chinese New Year! Gong Xi Fa Cai! May the lunar new year of the rabbit bring you lots of joy, luck, health, and prosperity!

I am sure many of my readers in North America must be looking forward to this weekend’s big event, the NFL Super Bowl XLV! Just like the divisional playoffs, I have another great snack recipe that you can prepare ahead before the big game. This is a really delicious, and addictive, Chili Dungeness Crabs Dip. The slightly sweet, sour, and spicy sauce is accompanied with lots of chunky crabmeat. This dip will complement just about anything you throw at it, whether it’s baked potato skins, wedges, fries, chips, or just some toasted bread. Try it and enjoy the game this weekend!


Chili Dungeness Crabs Dip

Ingredients

350 to 380 g Dungeness Crabmeat, from 2 Large Dungeness Crabs (reserved shells) 

4 cloves Garlic, chopped

1/2 inch Ginger, chopped

1 medium Yellow Onion, diced

8 to 12 Thai Birds-eye Chilies, finely chopped

2 Eggs, lightly beaten

Peanut oil
Sea Salt, to taste



Sauce

2 Tbsp Rice Wine Vinegar
8 Tbsp Ketchup

3 Tbsp "Maggi" brand Chili Sauce
1 Tbsp Sugar
1 tsp Corn flour
1 Tbsp Soy Sauce
1 Tbsp Dark Soy Sauce

1 ½ Cup Water

Method

In a large wok over high heat, add enough oil (about ½ cup) and stir fry the crab shells for about 10 minutes or until the oil is aromatic. Strain the oil and discard the shells.

Add 4 Tbsp of the aromatic oil into the wok and set over medium-high heat. When hot, toss in the garlic, ginger, yellow onion and chilies. Stir and cook the mixture until fragrant and golden delicious in color. 



Then mix in the prepared sauce and bring it to a boil.



Now add the crabmeat and give it a quick stir, and simmer gently for about 1 minute. Then add the eggs and stir until all the eggs are cook and well combined. Season with salt, if necessary and serve warm.

    This looks and sounds awesome! It reminds me of the sauce from the sweet and sour crab dish that I would sop up with toast! I have to look up Dungeness crabs though. Are they easily available?

Dumplings

I'm actually laughing at myself! What have I got into? Trying to make dumplings?? Well, I have seen my late grandmother make them a long time ago. I can remember the ingredients but not the measurements! So, it took me about two hours to come up with the perfect recipes, and I'm glad I did! It was an instant hit! They were all gone, all gobbled up! Make the dough first, add about 480 to 500g of all-purpose flour with 300ml of water. Knead the dough and let it rest. You should be able to make 40 dumplings with the dough. Meanwhile, prepare the filling for the dumplings. Click here for the dumpling wrappers video.
