Ingredients

• 2 lbs Fresh crab (whole, cleaned and cut into pieces)
• 2 inches Fresh ginger (thinly sliced)
• 1 large Yellow onion (sliced)
• 3 stalks Green onions (cut into 2-inch pieces)
• 4 cloves Garlic (minced)
• 3 tbsp Vegetable oil
• 2 tbsp Soy sauce
• 1 tbsp Oyster sauce
• 2 tbsp Shaoxing wine (Chinese cooking wine)
• 1 tsp Cornstarch
• 0.25 cup Water
• 0.5 tsp Salt
• 0.25 tsp Black pepper

Directions

Step 1

Clean the crab thoroughly and cut it into manageable pieces. Crack the claws slightly to help absorb the flavors during cooking. Set aside.

Step 2

In a small bowl, mix the soy sauce, oyster sauce, Shaoxing wine, cornstarch, water, salt, and black pepper to create the sauce. Set aside.

Step 3

Heat a wok or large skillet over medium-high heat and add the vegetable oil.

Step 4

Once the oil is hot, add the sliced ginger and minced garlic. Stir-fry for 1-2 minutes until fragrant.

Step 5

Increase the heat to high and add the crab pieces to the wok. Stir-fry for 3-4 minutes to coat the crab evenly in the ginger and garlic.

Step 6

Add the sliced onion and green onions. Continue stir-frying for another 2 minutes.

Step 7

Pour the sauce over the crab and toss everything together. Cover the wok with a lid and let it simmer for 5-7 minutes, allowing the crab to cook through and absorb the flavors.

Step 8

Uncover the wok, give the dish a final toss to ensure everything is well-coated, and remove from heat.

Step 9

Transfer the Ginger Onion Crab to a serving dish and serve hot with steamed rice or crusty bread.
