Preparation Tips
Before diving into the cooking process, ensure that your mud crabs are fresh and have been cleaned thoroughly. If you’re new to handling live crabs, consider having them cleaned at your local seafood market to save time and effort. Additionally, prepare all your ingredients in advance for a seamless cooking experience. The combination of sweet chili sauce, soy sauce, and tamarind paste may be the star, but it’s the fresh aromatics like ginger, garlic, and red chili peppers that elevate the dish’s complexity. Adjust the spice level according to your preference to strike the perfect balance between heat and sweetness.
