A Weekend Guide to Revamping Crab Stir-Fried Glass Noodles

Ingredients: 

– 500g of fresh sea crab (approximately 1 sea crab)

– Dried glass noodles: 250g

– Carrots: 1 piece, 2 cloves of wood ear fungus

– Onion: 1 piece

– Celery: 150g

– Spring onions, cilantro, bean sprouts: 100g

– Horn peppers: 3 pieces

– Garlic: 1 piece

– Seasonings: bouillon, MSG, pepper, cooking oil, fish sauce, chili powder

Instructions

Step 1: Prepare the Ingredients

– Clean fresh crab with water, steam until cooked, and remove the meat. Marinate crab meat with ½ teaspoon bouillon, ½ teaspoon MSG, ½ teaspoon fish sauce, 1 teaspoon cooking oil, ¼ teaspoon pepper for about 15 minutes.

– Soak dried glass noodles in warm water for about 10 minutes, then rinse with cold water, cut into suitable lengths for stir-frying, and drain. Add 1 tablespoon of oil, mix thoroughly to prevent the noodles from sticking.

– Soak wood ear fungus until it expands, then cut into small strips

– Peel and finely chop garlic.

– Clean and julienne carrots and chili.

– Peel onions, cut into small wedges. You can soak the knife in cold water before slicing the onions to avoid eye irritation.

– Clean celery, spring onions, and cilantro. Cut into pieces.

Step 2: Cook the Crab Stir-Fry

– Heat oil in a pan, sauté half of the minced garlic, add 2 teaspoons of cooking oil and a bit of chili powder. Stir-fry the crab meat until it changes color, then transfer to a plate and set aside.

– Continuing, heat the oil in the pan, then add carrots, chili, celery, and onions. Stir-fry, then add the plate of crab meat and glass noodles. Toss well and add 2 tablespoons of water to make the noodles more tender. Season with ½ teaspoon bouillon, ½ teaspoon MSG, ½ teaspoon pepper to taste.

– Use both hands with chopsticks to continuously stir the noodles for a silky texture. The crab will evenly coat the noodles and prevent sticking. Finally, add spring onions and cilantro, gently toss, and turn off the heat.

Step 3: Complete the Crab Stir-Fried Glass Noodles

Place the crab stir-fried glass noodles on a plate, garnish with some cilantro and a dash of pepper, and you have a delicious dish for the whole family to enjoy. The chewy glass noodles paired with the rich sweetness of sea crab make this dish irresistible. Serve the crab stir-fried glass noodles with soy sauce or a dipping sauce of fish sauce, lime, and chili to enhance the flavors.
