1. If the crab is live, put it in the freezer for 10 minutes to make it sleepy, then clean it and cut it into pieces, removing the gills.
2. Grate the ginger, crush the garlic, slice the onion and chop the chilies.
3. Heat the oil in a large sauté pan and cook the onion for 4 minutes.
4. Add the ginger, garlic and chilies and cook for 2 minutes, stirring.
5. Add the crab pieces, toss to coat, then pour in the water and add salt.
6. Cover and simmer for 15 to 20 minutes over medium heat, until the meat comes away easily from the shell. Serve hot.
