    • 2 tablespoons olive oil
    • 3 garlic cloves, finely chopped
    • Thumb-sized ginger, finely chopped
    • 2 red chillies, finely chopped
    • 1 red chilli, sliced

    Method

    • Chilli Crab: Step-by-Step Method
    • Prepare all ingredients: finely chop garlic, ginger, and red chillies (reserve sliced chilli, coriander, and spring onions separately)
    • Set crab aside and ensure it is pre-cooked, cleaned, and segmented as desired
    • Heat olive oil in a large pan or wok over medium heat
    • Add chopped garlic and ginger to oil, sauté until fragrant (about 1 minute)
    • Add finely chopped red chillies to pan, continue stirring for another 1 minute
    • Pour in tomato ketchup and soy sauce, stirring well to combine and create a thick sauce
    • Allow the sauce to simmer gently for 2-3 minutes so flavors meld
    • Add pre-cooked crab pieces to the pan, tossing to thoroughly coat with sauce
    • Continue to cook crab in sauce for 3-4 minutes, turning gently to warm the crab and infuse flavor
    • Taste and adjust seasonings if needed (add more soy for saltiness or chilli for heat, to preference)
    • Remove from the heat and sprinkle sliced red chilli, chopped coriander leaves, and spring onions over the crab
    • Transfer crab and sauce to a serving platter
    • Serve hot, accompanied by steamed rice or bao buns to soak up the sauce
