Cooking instructions

* Step 1

Slice cayenne pepper and lemon grass, julienne ginger, fry all in boiling cooking oil until golden brown, drain oil and set aside.

* Step 2

Rinse crabs, lift and detach the carapace (outer shell) and set aside. Discard the abdomen and gills. Pound the big claws. Crack crabs into halves.

* Step 3

Mix all the spices together: vinegar, sugar, salt, oyster sauce, sesame oil, seasoning powder, black pepper, minced garlic.

* Step 4

Put a skillet over the heat (a small and deep pot can help save oil/fat), wait until the oil/fat really boils, add pieces of crabs in and fry until fully cooked then transfer to a paper towel-lined plate.

* Step 5

Use a big skillet, add some cooking oil or fat, heat until it really boils, add the spice mixture in step 3 in and toss evenly then pour the fried crabs into the skillet and stir thoroughly until spices are fully absorbed, stir-fry over high heat in about 10 minutes then turn off the heat.

* Step 6

Add fried lemon grass, ginger, cayenne pepper and previously processed salt to shake well together. Finally, transfer to a serving plate and garnish with lettuce and cucumber. Served with salt, sugar, black pepper and lime dipping sauce. Or mix chili sauce to dip as desired.
