🙋 Recommended for

  • Those looking to break away from ordinary curry flavors and try something unique
  • Fans of soft, pillowy-textured Southeast Asian curries
  • People who want to create a visually impressive dish using just one ingredient—crab meat

Ingredients needed 🛒1 servings

  • crab meat 1 pack
  • onion 1 piece
  • milk 2 cups
  • curry powder 3 tablespoons
  • chicken stock about 1/4 tablespoon
  • egg 1 piece
  • vegetable oil or butter generously
  • rice 1 bowl

Recipe 🍳

  1. Set aside half of the crab meat as garnish, and finely shred the other half into strands.
  2. Heat generous amounts of vegetable oil or butter in a pan, then place the reserved crab meat on top and press down firmly until golden brown.
  3. Cook until the butter aroma fully penetrates the crab meat, just before burning, then remove and set aside.
  4. Use the remaining oil to sauté 1 finely chopped onion, cover with a lid, and cook slowly until deeply caramelized.
  5. Add the shredded crab meat to the caramelized onion and stir briefly, then pour in 2 cups of milk.
  6. Add 3 tablespoons of curry powder and 1/4 tablespoon of chicken stock, crack in 1 egg, and reduce heat to low, stirring gently to prevent clumping.
  7. Simmer gently until the sauce thickens and becomes creamy.
  8. Serve warm rice in a bowl, top generously with the finished curry, and finish by adding the previously baked crab garnish.
  1. Fry half the crab meat whole until golden, and finely shred the other half.
  2. Sauté chopped onion until browned, then add shredded crab and milk.
  3. Add curry powder, chicken stock, and egg, then simmer over low heat until thick and creamy. Serve over rice.

Cooking tips 💡

  • For the garnish, cook the crab meat until just barely golden—this preserves its smoky aroma and nutty flavor.
  • After adding milk, never boil vigorously—this can cause separation or burning. Always simmer gently for a smooth texture.
  • The longer you caramelize the onion, the sweeter and more complex the curry’s overall flavor will become.
