Method

  1. 1 Clean the crab, separate the shell, and chop the body into bite-sized pieces. Crush the claws to allow the sauce to penetrate.
  2. 2 Beat the eggs with fresh milk, curry powder, oyster sauce, soy sauce, and sugar to make a sauce mixture.
  3. 3 Sauté sliced onions in hot oil for 2 minutes, then add crab and stir-fry over high heat for 5 minutes until the shells turn red.
  4. 4 Reduce the heat to low, pour in the egg and milk mixture, and stir gently for 3 minutes until the sauce coats the crab and thickens slightly.
  5. 5 Add the celery, green onions, and sliced chili peppers, stir for 1 minute, then turn off the heat and serve hot with rice.
