Thai Curry crab – Boo Paht Pong Karee

Jeg har aldri vært noe på Curry, men denne retten falt i smak.  Jeg vågde meg til å prøve den på Lucky hin dagen, og jeg kan tenke meg en norsk taskekrabbe hadde passet knallgodt til dette, da den er større og har mye kjøtt. Men vil nok anbefale å koke krabben som vanlig først før man går i gang med resten.

Ingredients :

* 1 large (Dungeness) crab (or 1 1/2 lbs. smaller crabs)
* 1 white onion
* 2 Chinese celery
* 3 spring onions (scallions)
* 2 fresh red 'spur' chilies (or Jalepeno peppers)
* 1/4 tsp. ground white pepper
* 2 tsp. Thai curry powder
* 1/2 cup milk
* 1 tbsp. roasted chili paste (nam prik pao)
* 1 egg
* 2 tbsp. oyster sauce, Mae Krua

Preparation :

1. Wash the crab, remove the shell, chop into pieces, and crack the claws and legs (by hitting with the blunt edge of a heavy cleaver).
2. Heat 2 tbsp. oilk in a frying pan. When it is hot, put in the crab, fry until done and then add the curry powder.
3. Mix the milk and the chili paste and then beat in the egg. Pour this into the pan and add the oyster sauce.
4. Chop the onion, celery, spur chilies, and spring onion, add these to the mixture in the pan, sprinkle with pepper, and continue cooking until done; then dip onto a dish and serve.
