Taucheo Flower Crabs
Filed Under: Asian Recipes Chinese Recipes Fish & Seafood Hot & Spicy Mum's Recipes Recipes Steaming Step-by-Step Recipes
Ingredients:
- 3 to 4 flower crabs (花蟹)
- 8 cloves garlic peeled
- 4 chilli padi to taste
- 1 tbsp taucheo (soy bean paste/ 豆酱)
- 2 tbsp cooking oil
- 500ml water
- 1 egg beaten (optional)
Directions:
- Remove the crab shell and cut it in two along the center. Remove and discard the spongy gills.
- To make the tacheo chilli paste, use an electric blender to grind the garlic and chilli until finely chopped. Add in taucheo and blend until a paste is formed. Alternatively, use a mortar and pestle.
- Heat oil in wok, and stir fry taucheo paste prepared until fragrant, about 1 minute.
- Add flower crab pieces to the wok and stir fry briefly to coat them in the taucheo sauce.
- Add water and bring to a simmer. Cover the wok with lid and let the crabs steam for about 15 minutes. If the water dries up at any time during steaming, add more water. When the crab is cooked, stir in a beaten egg to mix in with the sauce.

My spouse simply enjoyed it even though it was my first time cooking crab.
Hi,
I’d like to know if the tau cheo used in this dish as the same used in tau cheo pork?
Additionally, thank you for all the easy to follow and great recipes ????
Yes, that’s the same one I used (Tai Hua brand if I remember correctly). Thank you :)
