Kampot Pepper Crab

Instructions

1. Clean the crabs, remove the shell and gills, then cut them into pieces and lightly crack the claws.
2. Roughly crush the black pepper in a mortar to release its aromas.
3. Heat the oil in a wok over high heat, then fry the sliced garlic and shallots for a minute.
4. Add the crab pieces and stir-fry for 4 to 5 minutes until they turn red.
5. Add the butter, crushed pepper, fish sauce, sugar and rice vinegar, then toss to coat the pieces well.
6. Cook for another 3 minutes, sprinkle with spring onion and fried onion, and serve straight away with white rice.
