THAI CRAB WITH CELLOPHANE NOODLES

A good variation for when we’ve caught so many crabs that we’re actually tired of simple preparations.

  • 1 package (3½ ounces) of cellophane noodles

  • 2 tablespoons vegetable oil

  • 2 tablespoons chopped shallots

  • 1 cup thinly sliced snow peas

  • 1-ounce of dried woodear mushrooms, reconstituted in water

  • 2 teaspoons chopped garlic

  • 1 cup bean sprouts (packed)

  • Fish sauce (nuoc mam or nam pla)

  • Freshly ground black pepper

  • ½ pound fresh crab meat, cartilage removed

  • ¼ cup chopped green onions

  • Place the noodles in a large bowl.

  • Cover with warm water and allow to sit for 20 minutes. Drain and pat dry.

  • In a wok, over medium heat, add the oil. When the oil is hot, add the shallots, peas, mushrooms, garlic and bean sprouts. Season with the fish sauce and black pepper. Stir-fry for 1 minute.

  • Add the crabmeat. Season with the fish sauce and black pepper. Continue to stir-fry for 2 minutes.

  • Add the noodles and green onions. Stir-fry for 1 minute. Remove and serve on a large platter.
