Sweet and Sour Crab Claws - these delicious crab claws are made with ketchup, chili sauce, egg, ginger, garlic, and cilantro in this super easy meal.
The Best Crab Claws
I got some crab claws yesterday for a recipe on the cookbook and had some leftover. I also had a leftover beaten egg from the egg wash. So, I made sweet and sour crab claws, with the egg, ala Singapore chili crab-style.
Since my crab claws were frozen, they lack the natural sweetness. The sauce is great nonetheless. If you have a fresh crab, this sweet and sour crab recipe will shine.
