Ingredients

  • 2 tablespoon vegetable oil
  • 1 red chilli finely diced (use more or less depending on your spice tolerance)
  • 4 garlic cloves minced
  • 1 inch ginger minced
  • 2 shallots finely diced
  • 1 tablespoon tomato paste
  • 1 tablespoon ketchup
  • 1 tablespoon light soy sauce
  • 300 g drained crab meat I used two cans worth.
  • 400 ml chicken broth
  • ½ tablespoon cornstarch combine with 1 tablespoon water (to create a slurry)
  • 350 g noodles 4 portions worth
  • 10 g chives finely sliced
  • chilli oil for garnish (optional)

Instructions

  • Place a frying pan/skillet on medium heat and drizzle with vegetable oil. Once hot, add in the chilli, garlic, ginger, and shallots.
  • Once the aromatics have been frying for a few minutes and have softened slightly, add in the tomato paste, ketchup, and soy sauce. Stir to combine and fry for a further 2 minutes.
  • Next, add in the drained crab meat and break it down with the back of your spoon. Follow with the chicken stock and stir to combine. Simmer on low heat for 5 minutes, stirring frequently. Taste and season with salt, pepper, sugar, or chilli flakes based on your preferences.
  • Pour in the cornstarch slurry and stir to combine.
  • Meanwhile, prepare your noodles according to packet instructions.
  • Divide your noodles between 4 bowls and top each bowl with the chilli crab sauce. Garnish with chives and chilli oil. Enjoy!!
