Chilli Crab sauce w/Mantou


Tonight we have Chilli Crab Sauce served with Mantous and Fried Rice. Kids had some over wedding reception and crave for the sauce. Mantou has always been their favourite treats whenever we went crab feasting.. Those mini deep fried ones! Yummy!! 

I managed to get the bigger ones so I cut into halves and fried them. Overly crispy as I couldnt control the temp of oil well. It darkens so fast! Lol! 

The sauce mainly made up of chilli sauce, tomato sauce, sugar and water. I added some golden mushroom for that texture, frozen crab meat (already taken out of the shell) from NTUC. Makes my life so much easier. You can substitute or do without if only using as a dipping sauce. I will also do as a dipping sauce in future also as the kids prefer to dip and dont really eat much of the crab. 

Sharing with you my humble simple chilli crab alike recipe today! ❤️❤️
