2 c Crab meat
1/2 c Ground pork
1 c Shrimp -- chopped
2/3 tb Garlic -- chopped
1 ts Ground white pepper
1/2 tb Cilantro roots -- chopped -OR-
2 ts Cilantro stems -- chopped
3 tb Golden Mount or Maggi sauce

Combine crab meat, pork, shrimp, garlic, pepper, cilantro roots, and
Golden Mount sauce well. Stuff in each crab shell and pack tightly.
Sprinkle cilantro leaves and red chilies. Smooth the surface and
press down securely. Bring a lot of water to a rapid boil in a
steamer. Arrange in the stuffed crab shells. Place several layers of
paper towels on top of the steamer, not the food and replace the
cover. Steam for 20 minutes and remove from heat.
Cool. Beat the egg in a small bowl. In a large wok, heat lots of oil
over medium-high heat. Dip the stuffed crab in the egg and fry meat
side down until golden brown. Remove from oil and drain well. Cool
slightly and serve immediately. Serve with Thai Sriracha chili sauce
as an appetizer.
Yield: 4 Servings
Note:
Do not fry the crab too long as the stuffing will shrink and fall out
of the shell.
