Recipe for pickled crab Thai food by Nong&Josh

 

Ingredients:

  • 1-2 kg of hard-shell crabs (horse crab or blue crab)
  • 1 cup sea salt
  • 1 cup sugar
  • 1/4 cup fish sauce
  • 1/4 cup lime juice
  • 1 tablespoon ground black pepper
  • Kaffir lime leaves or pandan leaves (optional)



Instructions:

  1. Clean the crabs thoroughly, removing the shells and rinsing them well. 
  2. Dissolve sea salt in water to make a brine solution. Pour this brine over the crabs, ensuring they are completely covered. Allow the crabs to soak in the brine.
  3. Place the crabs in a container or bowl and refrigerate for 12-24 hours to pickle them.
  4. Mix sugar, fish sauce, lime juice, ground black pepper, and kaffir lime leaves or pandan leaves (if using) to make a dipping sauce or dressing.
  5. Once the pickled crabs are ready, serve them with the prepared dipping sauce.
