• 1 tablespoon of fish sauce
• 1 teaspoon of MSG, optional
• 4 tablespoons of green onions, thin slices

Step 1. Steam the crabs for about 20 minutes, then remove them and carve out only its meat.

Step 2. Roast chili, red shallot, and garlic until they become soft and their color turn brown.

Step 3. Use a mortar and pestle to pound the roasted chili, red shallots, garlic, and crab meat. Add fermented fish sauce (padek), fish sauce, and MSG. Smash it roughly. Then taste it and add the green onion and coriander. Ready to serve with sticky rice and steam vegetables. Zap!
