Thai Chili Crab with Long Beans and Thai Basil
Cracked blue crab is wok-tossed with roasted chili paste, oyster sauce, crunchy long beans and a big handful of Thai basil until every crevice is coated in sticky, spicy sauce. Serve it with plenty of jasmine rice and napkins.
Test kitchen note: Crack the claws with the back of a heavy knife before cooking so the sauce seeps in and the meat is easy to pull out at the table.
