You know how we are guilty to indulge in these tangy spicy sauce with deep fried mantou, it just literally means we can’t get enough of these really tasty sauce. So I decided to cook up this Chilli Crab spaghetti and in a quickest painless way as I have to dedicate more time to\u00a0play with my little one at home, so this dish can only take me at most 20mins. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n I was comtemplating if I should cook it from scratch, hmm.. I know there is this really simple recipe which just call for half bottle ketchup and half bottle of sweet chilli sauce, some flour and eggs and its done, but I got quite a few bottles in the fridge so I do not want to add in more bottles to leave some room for other sauces. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n <\/p>\n So browsing in the supermarket, I found this Hai’s Chilli Crab sauce which looks quite promising, $3 (actually on promotion right now, so only $2.65) \u00a0for a pack and you only need spring onions, and one egg. Easy Peasy. You wouldn’t want to slave yourself on National Day right? \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Next come the crab, as I am cooking pasta, I need not use fresh crabs, I have been eyeing this frozen crab meat from Fairprice for ages, planning to make crab cakes with it as it cost only $3.50 for a pack, cheaper than the tin can versions which can set you back like near $10 to $40\u00a0for the same portion. So frozen crab as it is, save all the trouble \ud83d\ude00<\/p>\n I was planning to use my Happycall pan to cook this, but I used it to cook my scrambled eggs for breakfast so I have not washed it, and I choosed a new non stick pan instead, this dish actually is good to use Happycall because you will need to fry the packet sauce in some oil, so closing it will be better. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Ingredients :<\/p>\n * please take note I didn’t follow the cooking instructions from the packet sauce, by now you should know I am horrendous in following exactly from the recipes haha… so just a little here and a little there revision. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Directions :<\/p>\n I squeeze in a splash of lemon juice before serving,\u00a0to give it a refreshing twist too. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n And now for the taste test! Wheeee! \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n To be honest, I wasn’t expecting much from the Hai’s packet sauce as my mum has tried another product under this brand in the past, but boy was my perception changed after trying it, this is really as close & simple\u00a0as it gets, the only additional ingredients I added was just 1 clove of garlic, but this sauce has this well balance of robust chilli flavour and tangy ketchup sweetness.<\/p>\n I like it a lot, I kept some of the sauce aside before I put in the pasta, so I will use it to either cook some prawns or squid in it, or even just get myself some mantou<\/a> to dip & tuck in.<\/p>\n For the Okeanoss frozen crab meat, for $3.50 a pack, the meat comes in various chunks of flower crabs, for sure you won’t get the king crab or Sri lanka crabs, I made a comparison in the supermarket, if I were to use a tin can of king crabs, it will cost\u00a0a whopping\u00a0$39.90, compared to this $3.50 pack.<\/p>\n wow, that’s a whole lot of damage done to my wallet if I stick to king crab, besides, this dish has such strong flavoured, it will be waste to use very good crab meat chunks with it, you kind of want the flavour not technically the texture of it. \ud83d\ude42 All things all, I do find small pieces of crab shell in it, but who am I kidding, even if I were to eat fresh crab, I will still be jamming some crab shells in my teeth, so this is nothing to me. \ud83d\ude42 Next time I will still get this to make my crab cakes.<\/p>\n This is one dish which is so easy to cook and require so little time so that you can truly enjoy your National Day parade with your plate of Chilli Crab pasta on the side. \ud83d\ude42 All it takes is just 20 mins or less, isn’t this something you can try it out now. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n Happy National Day Celebration!<\/p>\n QUICK & SIMPLE PASTA RECEIPES : CHILLI CRAB PASTA NATIONAL DAY INSPIRED RECIPES<\/strong><\/p>\n PRODUCT REVIEWS : HAI’S CHILLI CRAB SAUCE MIX<\/strong><\/p>\n Price : $3 per pack from Fairprice supermarket<\/em><\/p>\n PRODUCT REVIEWS : OKEANOSS FROZEN FLOWER CRAB MEAT<\/strong><\/p>\n Price : $3.50 per pack from Fairprice supermarket<\/em><\/p>\n For latest news on restaurants, supermarkets, food fairs, or simply check out some of my simple recipe ideas & reviews, please visit us at singaporesupermarketrecipes.com or subscribe to our mailing list for more details.<\/p>\n Cheers,<\/p>\n Dawn<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Hi there After making the Singapore National Flag inspired\u00a0cheesecake, I was itching to cook up something savory too, so brainstorming among all the famous dishes, there are this quinessential dish which all tourist must try, and it is Chilli Crab. \ud83d\ude42 You know how we are guilty to indulge in these tangy spicy sauce with … Continue reading QUICK & SIMPLE CHILLI CRAB PASTA – SINGAPORE NATIONAL DAY INSPIRED DISHES<\/span><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":0,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":[],"categories":[140,10,552,3],"tags":[4198,4204,4201,4200,4196,4203,4205,4195,4199,4202,4197],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"http:\/\/singaporesupermarketrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10869"}],"collection":[{"href":"http:\/\/singaporesupermarketrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"http:\/\/singaporesupermarketrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/singaporesupermarketrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/singaporesupermarketrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=10869"}],"version-history":[{"count":7,"href":"http:\/\/singaporesupermarketrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10869\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":10895,"href":"http:\/\/singaporesupermarketrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/10869\/revisions\/10895"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"http:\/\/singaporesupermarketrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=10869"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/singaporesupermarketrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=10869"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"http:\/\/singaporesupermarketrecipes.com\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=10869"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}![\"](\"http:\/\/singaporesupermarketrecipes.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2012\/08\/1-quick-simple-chilli-crab-pasta-recipes-300x225.jpg\" "\\"")
