Sticky Ginger Scallion Soft Shell Crab
  1. Combine all ingredients for sauce and mix well.

  2. Prep crabs by removing face, gills and abdominal flap. Cut in half vertically.

  3. Heat a large wok or high sided pan on high heat, add ~⅛” of oil to the pan. Lightly dredge the crabs in corn starch and shake off excess. Fry in hot oil for 2 minutes. Flip crabs using a spatula. The shells should be bright red. There will be some starch stuck to the pan, use a metal spatula to scrape loose. Cook for 2 more minutes.

  4. Add ginger, scallions and jalapeno to the pan with the crab. Stir and cook for ~2 minutes until very fragrant.

  5. Pour sauce over everything in the pan. Stir until evenly coated.

  6. Serve immediately.
