Thai Crab with Yellow Curry Recipe
How to Make Thai Crab Stir Fry with Curry
This is a mild crab curry stir fry that highlights
the sweet, fresh flesh of the crab meat used.
In
our opinion, this dish is best served together with the
seductive whole shells of the crab, making it the most
visually appealing. However, the dish may also be
requested without the shell to make it easier to eat
without the use of fingers.
The stir fry sauce is thicked with egg rather than onions or any cornflour.
