Posted byNoriePosted inRecipe, Seafood, SoupTags:

INGREDIENTS:

  • 2 to 3 cooked crabs
  • ½ onion minced (about 1/2 cup)
  • 1 large clove garlic smashed and minced
  • 4 thin slices ginger root julienned
  • About 1/2 bundle misua noodles or ½ cup broken to 2” Japanese thin noodles
  • 2 cups water
  • Salt and pepper
  • Cooking Oil

Procedure:

Cut crabs in half, break off the claws and set aside.

Sauté ginger root and garlic until fragrant then add the onions and sauté until onions are soft and transparent.  Add the water, boil, then drop in the crabs and the legs and claws.  Simmer for a minute or two then add the misua noodles.  Cook for 1 minute if using the very thin Chinese/Filipino misua.  A little longer if using the Japanese misua noodles. 

You can add Patola squash if available and you can also add chopped green onions for garnish.

Taste and add salt and pepper.  (Be aware that misua noodles are salted).
