Among the many food i love , this is one dish that my husband and i would love to order everytime we are having seafood at a Chinese Restaurant.
and the 2nd time i cook for my husband here in Dubai.
Buon appetito! ;-)
The best so far is at Port Village Seafood Restaurant @ Port Klang and it has never failed us , just by having this me and my girlfriends would be the happiest people that day!
oh and you should also try their Nestum Fried Prawn.
Since everytime my husband back in Malaysia , masa suntuk tak berkesempatan ke Port Klang , i tried to cook and hoping that it would taste the same.
Lepaskan craving >.<
The 1st time i cook was at home for mom and my brother and sis in law cause i was craving for one and it turn out yummy! Mom love it!
and the 2nd time i cook for my husband here in Dubai.
So here is the recipe , based on the deliciousness taste of the Salted Egg Crab that i can remember.
1kg of crab
8 cloves of garlic , minced
5 tbsp butter
handful of curry leaves
5 cili padi , thin sliced
4 salted egg - you need to hard boiled all eggs and only use the yellow yolk. Smash it with fork to make it into paste.
1/4 cup evaporated milk
Nestum / Kentucky Mix / Bread Crumbs
2 Chicken Egg - beaten
1. Heat up the oil to fry the crab.
2. First , cut the crab into half and dip it into the beaten chicken egg then 'lumur' with either Nestum+ Tepung kentucky or with bread crumbs and deep fried the crab. I prefer to use Nestum with Tepung Kentuky as it give more crunchy taste to the crab.
Set aside.
3.Clean all oil in the wok ( as you don't need oil for this). Now add the butter ( you can add more if you want it to taste more 'lemak' ) , garlic , cili padi and curry leaves. Cook all in slow fire as you don't want it to get burned.
4. Once you can smell the aroma , you can now add in the salted egg yellow yolk that you have smash it earlier. Stir well with the mixture.
5. Now add in the evaporated milk.
6. Once all are well mix , turn up the fire and stir in the mixture until you can see bubble at the side of your wok. Now put in the crab that was deep fried earlier. Mix all together and are now ready to be serve.
You do not need to add any salt to season coz the saltiness from the salted egg is good enough for the meal.
Buon appetito! ;-)
