Stuffed Crab Shell

Whenever I visit the wet market, I will make sure of getting some of this small crabs. Sometimes my friends wonder why am I buying such crabs as they don't contain much meat and it seems to be useless. Well, the shell is the gem and I use it for my dish. I will use a mixture of meat and stuff it into the shells and deep fried them. The taste is absolutely divine.

Firstly I will have a dozen of the shell by removing the meat. I will use fish paste, prawn paste and crab meat minced together and stuffed them into the shell. Deep fry them.

Ingredient

12pcs Crab shell(small)
200gm Fish paste
200gm Prawn paste
50gm Crab meat
1tsp Oyster sauce
1tspn Sesame oil
a pinch of salt

2. Mix the fish, prawn and crabmeat together.
3. Season with oyster sauce, sesame oil, salt and pepper.
4. Stuff the mixture into the shell.
5. Cover the shell with a thin layer of corn flour.
6. Deep dried the stuffed shell till golden brown.

Looks good and taste good . . . Steven Cheng

Soft Shell Clams in Broth



I love this type of fresh soft shell clams. They are huge compare to the normal clams that we see in the wet market. The shells are soft and fragile. The meat texture is good and foremost they are fresh and alive!



Ingredients

20-25pcs Soft shell clams
1inch Fresh ginger
1/2litre Chicken broth
1tsp sesame oil
a pinch of salt
a pinch of pepper

1. Wash and clesn the soft shell clams.
2. Cut the ginger into matchstick size.
3. Marinate the soft shell clams with sesame oil,salt, pepper and fresh ginger for 10mins.
4. Heat up the chicken broth till boiled, place the soft shell clams in for 5-10mins.(Not to long)
5. Serve on a big soup bowl.

I like this dish as you can taste the sweetness and the freshness from the clams and the broth.
