About Chili crab

Chili Crab is a signature dish from Singaporean cuisine, celebrated for its vibrant, flavorful combination of sweet, savory, and spicy tastes. The dish features fresh crabs stir-fried in a rich, tangy sauce made from tomato paste, chili, garlic, and sometimes egg for added texture. Often served with steamed or fried buns, it provides a satisfying balance of protein from the crab and essential vitamins from the spices and ingredients in the sauce. However, the dish can be calorie-dense due to the use of oil and sugar in the sauce. While high in protein and omega-3 fatty acids from the crab, which support heart and brain health, moderation is key as the preparation may include significant sodium levels. Chili Crab is an indulgent treat offering both cultural depth and nutritional benefits, best enjoyed as part of a balanced diet.
