@@gastroalchemy4499 thanks for replying, yes I noticed that right away! Also there was one other thing I didn’t know , after you added the garlic shallots and (ginger?) you then added a red paste block , what is that called ?
@@gastroalchemy4499 thank you , I’m a sucker for details my man I appreciate you replying. Is already have some shrimp paste and soybean paste , which were the hardest things to find. Im on the lookout for a whole crab.
Authentic Spore chilli crab never put chicken stocks or any chinese wine. That is to ensure..to maintain the natural flavour frm the crab as close as possible without being too overpowering. Well each to their own.👌🏻👌🏻👌🏻
I think there are as many "genuine" Singapore chili crab recipes as there are Singaporeans over the age of 12. It is easy to make as long as you have access to fresh crabs (blue crabs do work, but they are a mess to eat because of their size; bigger here is better). It's a red sauce based on ketchup (yep!), and chili sauce. You start with garlic and ginger chopped finely, add the liquid, cook the crab. Options: shallots, onion, soy sauce, black bean, fish sauce, egg, corn starch, chili pepper, white pepper, shaoxing wine, miso paste, shrimp paste. You get the idea! It's best eaten when you dress in badly stained clothing, preferably not very clean either. Serve on old newspapers, preferably not inside your home. If done even half way properly, you will need to shower afterwards. It is an incredible dish, and it is almost impossible to mess up. Try it!
What species of crab did you use? I've been seeing about an equal number of folks that say mud, dungeness, and blue crabs. A couple folks even said snow crabs but I feel like those wouldn't make sense here.
Lol! I do make reference to uncle roger from time to time, but not this time. No chilli jam crab. lol. On a serious note, ketchup is a critical ingredient for Singapore chilli crab ;)
Hands down , this looks great
I need to try asap , beautiful dish
Thanks much! If you're trying it, just note it's shallots bit scallions. 😊

Good point
How can substitute the wine?
@@thefamily296 the wine can be ommitted altogether.
Im looking for complete recepi on list 😢
Could you tell me what the (dark brown) ingredient is after frying up the onions, ginger and garlic is? Thanks.
It's called shrimp paste.😀 Not absolutely necessary but it will be your secret ingredient.
@@gastroalchemy4499 I think you added ?? chilli paste (first)?
Belachan Chilli and then fermented soy bean paste, and then the shrimp paste.
Hi Chef, which brand of Belachan chilli, soybean paste and shrimp paste do you use? Thanks

Complete ingredients, can you pls. Thank you
In the description
How to make belacan chili
Three primary ingredients, red chilli, lime juice and shrimp paste (belacan). Optionally the usual suspects shallots, garlic, sugar and salt.
Lachen chilli? Blachen ? Where can i buy it?
Not sure where you come from, but I suppose if you go to a Chinese Grocery, you'll be able to get this easily. Google Balacan Chilli.
i’m sorry what was that black sauce?
Shrimp paste 😀
Okey
Where is the recipe, may I ask pls
🤩
Feel cheated you didn’t make the steam buns 😂😂
Hahaha... Sounds like you're the lobster guy 😄 But i did deep fry them. Their called deep fried man tous. 😉
Uncle Roger does not approve ketchup lol
Lol! I do make reference to uncle roger from time to time, but not this time. No chilli jam crab. lol. On a serious note, ketchup is a critical ingredient for Singapore chilli crab ;)
Too much sugar otherwise ok recipe
Where's egg
Watch at about the 3.47 mark 😊
That looks like shallots and not scallion.
Yes. You are right, a slip during the narration. 😬
Um you didn't explain how to prepare the crab before it went in the chilli.... big thumbs down!
Hi, you are right, should have done so. Maybe next time.
