TAUCHO FRIED CRAB / KETAM GORENG TAUCHO.

There are two team in the house when come to crabs..one will go for dried curry crab and one will go for taucho crab. This is my favourite. I love this...simple yet satisfying. Serve with steam rice and they made perfect for lunch or dinner menu.

Heat up your wok and add cooking oil.

Stir fry the spice paste until fragant and spicy.

Add the taucho, sugar and 1/4 cup of water and do a quick stir. Cover the wok with its cover for 3 minutes.

Di  rumah biasanya kalau pasal ketam ini selalunya akan ada dua team dan selalunya akan gaduh dulu nak masak apa...anak-anak suka ketam kalau masak kari kering dan saya pula lebih gemar Chinese style goreng dengan Taucho. Biasanya saya akan buat dua-dua sekali hari ini masak kari kering dan esoknya masak taucho. masa bulan tengah penuh sedap beli ketam...kata orang tua-tua ketam mempunyai banyak isi masa bulan penuh..jadi saya angkut dan buat dua jenis masakan ini. Jika anda berhajat memasak ketam cara ini pastikan anda basuh taucho terlebih dahulu bagi membuat asinya. dan kalau boleh jangan letakkan garam.kerana taucho sudah cukup masin. Sedap makan bersama nasi panas dan sungguh menyelerakan.
