INSTRUCTIONS
* Note: Fermented black beans, available at Asian or Chinese markets.
If the crab is alive plunge it into boiling water and simmer for 15
minutes. If the crab has been pre-cooked you may omit this step.
Remove the shell and clean out the crab by removing the long spongy
grey gills. Leave the rest of the roe and liquid in the crab. Break
the legs off the crab, leaving them whole, then break the body into
four pieces. Heat a wok and add the oil and the garlic. Rinse the
black beans quickly and add them to the wok. Chow (stir-fry) this for
just a moment, then add the rest of the sauce ingredients. Chow until
all is hot, then add the crab pieces. Stir-fry for a couple of
minutes and add the green onions. Chow until all is hot and stir in
the egg. Stir until sauce thickens a bit. Serve immediately.
