Chinese New Year Recipes
Surprise your family with Curry Crabs Potpourri for Chinese New Year reunion dinner this time.
If you want something different from the usual Chinese New Year recipes of chicken and pork and are gamed for some Chinese seafood recipes, then do give these Chinese crab recipes a try. This dish is not so spicy that it would make you tear up as curry powder is usually mildly hot. But if you like it spicier, you can add dry chillies for the extra kick.
A tip here when buying crabs. Do not choose crabs if the crab meat appears to be stale or dry. Best if buy live crabs when cooking crab recipes, especially get those which are still happily crawling about. Ingredients 4 Large Flower Crabs; cleaned 2 Hard Boiled Eggs; shelled 2 Large Onions; sliced 1 1/2 inches Ginger; cut into slivers 4 cloves Garlic; minced 2 tbsp Seafood Curry Powder 1/2 bowl Water 200 ml Natural Yogurt; unflavoured 2 bowls Water Salt and pepper to taste Sugar to taste 1 tsp Lime Juice Method Add curry powder into 1/2 bowl of water and mix until it becomes a paste. Add yogurt into paste. Set aside first. Meanwhile, drain off any excess water from cleaned crabs. Crack the legs a bit so that the flesh is well flavoured during cooking. 
In a large saucepan, stirfry garlic and ginger until fragrant. Add onions and continue to fry until onions start to turn slightly brown. Add in curry paste. Continue to stir. Pour in 2 bowls of water. When water boils, add in clean crabs. 
Allow to cook for 10 to 15 minutes. The shells of the crabs will turn bright red during cooking. Add salt, pepper and sugar to taste. Add hard boiled eggs. Stir gently as not to break the eggs. Turn off heat. Drizzle lime juice over crabs. Stir a bit. Cover for about 5 minutes before serving. Best when served hot with rice or bread.
