Method

Preparation

  1. 1

    Prepare the Ingredients

    Start by washing and cleaning the crab meat thoroughly. Dice the red bell pepper, chop the green onions (keeping some green tops for garnish), mince the garlic, and grate the ginger.

Cooking

  1. 2

    Sauté the Vegetables

    In a large frying pan or wok, heat the vegetable oil over medium heat. Add the minced garlic, grated ginger, and diced red bell pepper. Sauté for about 3-4 minutes until fragrant and the bell pepper is slightly softened.

  2. 3

    Add the Crab and Seasonings

    Add the crab meat to the pan, gently folding it in with the sautéed vegetables. Sprinkle in the red chili flakes, salt, black pepper, soy sauce, oyster sauce, and sesame oil. Cook for an additional 5-7 minutes, stirring occasionally, until heated through.

  3. 4

    Finish the Dish

    Remove the pan from the heat and squeeze the juice of one lime over the crab mixture. Toss in the chopped cilantro and mix well. Adjust seasoning if necessary.

Serving

  1. 5

    Serve Hot

    Serve the spicy crab hot, garnished with the green tops of the green onions. Enjoy it on its own or with steamed rice!
