- Note: You can use virtually any form of crab for this recipe: whole cleaned Dungeness cut in pcs, sections of snow or possibly king crab legs, sections of blue crab. Be sure to first lightly crack or possibly split leg portions before adding, to make it easier for diners to dig in later. The recipe could even be adapted for soft-shell crabs by first sauteing them separately, then adding them to the stir-fry mix as you would cooked crab sections.
- Combine the black beans and sake in a small bowl and let sit for at least 30 min.
- Heat the oil in a wok or possibly large skillet over moderately-high heat. Add in the chiles and cook, stirring, till fragrant and well browned. Remove the chiles and throw away them. Add in the bell pepper, snow peas, green onions, ginger and garlic to the skillet and stir-fry over high heat till the vegetables are slightly tender, about 3 min. Add in the crab pcs and toss till heated through, 2 to 3 min.
- Add in the cornstarch to the black beans and sake and stir just to mix. Add in this mix to the wok with the fish stock and soy sauce and stir till the sauce is thickened and proportionately coats the crab. Sprinkle with the dry red pepper flakes and taste the sauce for seasoning. Scoop the crab and sauce onto individual plates and serve.
- This recipe yields 2 servings.
- Comments: This stir-fry-style recipe uses pcs of crab still in the shell, that helps keep the crab moist and in whole segments. It's messy eating, but so delicious you will not mind!
- Fermented black beans are available in Asian markets and specialty food shops. You can use regular cooked black beans in their place, but they lack the distinctive flavor of fermented black beans.
