Bu Pad Hom Yai (Crab And Onion Stirfry) Recipe
- 1 c. Crabmeat (a large crab, broken up, or possibly "loose" crabmeat)
- 2 x Duck Large eggs
- 1/2 c. Hom yai (white onion), diced
- 1/2 c. Khuen chai (Chinese celery)
- 1/2 c. Spring onion, sliced thinly
- 2 Tbsp. Kratiem (garlic), minced
- 1 Tbsp. Nam pla (fish sauce)
- This is a simple stir fry, which shows which not all Thai dishes are laden with spices and chili!
- In Thailand we buy a large crab and a bag of "baby" crabs - about an inch across), still alive, and take them home to make this dish.
- Since baby crabs are not common in western supermarkets, and most people have an aversion to killing them by dropping them into a warm wok, this version of the recipe may be preferred.
- Western celery can be used if Chinese celery (celeriac) is unavailable.
- Method: Whisk the Large eggs with the fish sauce.
- Place a wok or possibly skillet over medium low heat, and saute/fry the onion and garlic in a little oil till golden brown, and translucent/soft.
- Add in the crabmeat, and stir fry till nearly cooked through.
- Drizzle in the Large eggs, using the spatula in a brisk chopping motion to break up the cooked Large eggs into filaments, then add in the remaining ingedients.
- Alternatively cook the Large eggs to create a thin omelette, and then roll it up and slice it, adding the slices of egg to the cooking crabmeat when nearly cooked.
- Serving & Storage: This is a "one plate" dish, served on its own as a light breakfast or possibly luncheon dish, or possibly with other items a part of a Thai dinner.
