The soft-shelled crabs are perfect for various delicious dishes as the sauce easily penetrates into every meaty piece.
Tamarind Sauce Molting Crabs
To make tamarind sauce crabs, choose medium-sized crabs, soak them in ginger water and liquor to clean and remove any fishy odor. To achieve crispiness, coat the crabs with a mixture of cornstarch and flour beaten with egg water to form a smooth paste. Then, fry the crabs in a large pan of oil until golden brown, ensuring they are cooked through while retaining their sweet and tender texture inside and crispy outside.
The sugar syrup mixed with tamarind water is boiled to create a thick sauce, infused with ginger, lemongrass, garlic, and chili to enhance the aroma. Season to taste and pour over the golden fried crabs on a plate.
When dining, guests will perceive the crab dish as not only crispy but also stimulating their taste buds with the sweet and sour flavor of the sauce and the aromatic spices.
