Spicy, slippery, garlicky glass noodles have to be one of my favorite ways to eat crab. Since discovering how easy it is to peel king crab legs, I've been slowly but surely developing the perfect recipe to take advantage. I'm very happy with my latest rendition, which has the added bonus of being super easy and packed with pantry staples. The base of the recipe is by Charles Phan, but I added a few spices at the end, which changes the flavor profile completely.
Ingredients
Main Dish
- 1 cup Cooked crab meat (I use king crab for ease)
- 8 ounce Mung bean or cellophane noodles
- 1 tablespoon canola oil (I used one that's garlic infused for extra flavor)
- 2 teaspoon minced garlic (about 2-3 cloves)
- 1 bunch scallions, thinly sliced
- 1 teaspoon cayenne pepper
- 1 tablespoon hot curry powder
- 1 teaspoon white pepper (optional)
Sauce
- 1.5 tablespoon fish sauce (I used Red Boat)
- 2 tablespoon oyster sauce (I used Dragonfly)
- 1 tablespoon soy sauce
- 1 tablespoon sesame oil
- 2 tablespoon chicken broth (optional)
