Break the cooked crab into large pieces and crack the claws lightly so sauce can enter.
Finely chop the garlic, fresh ginger, red hot peppers, and scallions.
Heat the vegetable oil in a wok and turn the garlic, ginger, and hot peppers for 1 minute, until fragrant.
Add the tomato ketchup, tomato puree, soy sauce, and water, then boil for 3 minutes.
Add the crab pieces to the sauce and toss over high heat for 5 minutes, until coated.
Beat the egg and pour it in a thin stream, stirring the sauce for 1 minute until glossy.
Add the scallions and cilantro and serve immediately.
💡 Tip: If you do not want to handle live crab, buy cleaned boiled crab from the fishmonger; the sauce time becomes shorter but the flavor balance stays intact.
🍽️ Serving suggestion: Serve chili crab with plain rice and lemony cucumber instead of steamed mantou if desired.
