Cooking tips
- Rather than simply heating the store-bought sauce, first stir-fry garlic, ginger, and spicy peppers in oil to build a base—this maximizes the authentic Southeast Asian flavor.
- If you add all the starch slurry at once, the sauce can become clumpy like paste. Add it little by little while checking the thickness to ensure success.
- To maintain a soft egg sauce texture, after adding the beaten egg, do not stir vigorously with a spatula. Gently stir in a circular motion until the egg is slightly cooked and fluffy.
Recommended for
- Those who miss the soft, sweet and tangy flavor of chili crab from Southeast Asian resort destinations.
- Those who want to cleverly use a store-bought starch sauce to serve a impressive Asian fusion dish to guests without fail.
- Those who want to enjoy the perfect balance of crispy, savory soft-shell crab and the smooth, fluffy egg chili sauce.
