Sweet, Succulent and Stringy Female Mud Crab Meat with Salted Egg Yolk and Cheese Sauce

This salted egg yolk and cheese sauce crab is using a female mud crab with roe. Even the crab roe or egg is not as full as the crab that i’m using for my Thai Green Curry Crab (Hot and Spicy Green Chilli Curried Mud Crab with Lemon Basil Leaves). The meat of this crab is much more sweeter and flaky than the full egg; i learn my lesson; you can have all what you want in one crab. The crab seller told me it’s all the matter of choice, either the meat or the roe. Virgin female crab got the most sweeter and stringy meat and the meat quality is decreased over the amount of roe on it.

Crab plus salted egg and cheese is a dish that you should had only before you’ve got 30 years old. It’s too bad the that i had to tell you that the cholesterol and calories level is too damn high for elderly.Cost you more than  30 minutes on a treadmill for a single crab than. But, you can reduce the calories with either boiled or steamed the crab instead of deep fried it. Salted egg and curry leaves is the list you should had for the  authentic version, i guess it’s available on asian groceries nearby your place. The salted egg yolk is available either raw or boiled, i suggest you to buy the raw and boiled for yourself because it’s much morore fresh then. If you can resist not tho eat the salted egg white, you can diced it and add it as a garnish like what i’ve done.
