Thai Curry Crab (Pu Pad Pong Curry ปูผัดผงกะหรี่) | Cook Thai with Mumu

The OOZING creamy egg sauce with intense curry flavour. Yes, it's the Thai version of curry crab.
*I used live crab in my video for show (it looks nicer), but I strongly recommend just use frozen crab meat. It's much easier.
***************
Ingredients (serves 2 with rice):
1) Chinese parsley: 2-3 stalks *Optional
2) Spring onion: 1-2 stalks
3) Chilli: 1 chilli *Optional (only for decoration)
4) Garlic: 1 clove
5) Mud crab: 1 whole (if you use crab meat, as much as you like but around 1 cup is good ratio).
6) Vegetable oil: 1 tablespoon
7) Potato starch: 2 tablespoon mix with water (I eventually use 2.5 tablespoons of the mix)
8) Large eggs: 3 eggs
9) Chilli oil: up to you; I use 5 tablespoons. *Optional. If you can find non-spicy kind that's even better
10) Water: 1/2 cup for the sauce
11) Curry powder: 1 tablespoon (any brand works!)
12) Oyster sauce: 1 tablespoon
13) Soy sauce: 1 tablespoon
14) Thai chilli paste: 1/2 tablespoon
15) Sugar: 1/4 teaspoon
16) Evaporated milk: 3-4 tablespoons (can use heavy/whip cream instead or just replace water with milk)
***************
Thai name of all ingredients (in case you want to show to Thai shop keeper!): 1) คึ่นช่าย 2) ต้นหอม 3) พริกชี้ฟ้า 4) กระเทียม 5) ปูทะเล 6) น้ำมันพืช 7) แป้งมันฝรั่ง 8) ไข่ 9) น้ำมันน้ำพริกเผา 10) น้ำ 11) ผงกะหรี่ 12) น้ำมันหอย 13) ซีอิ้วขาว 14) น้ำพริกเผา 15) น้ำตาล 16) นมข้น(จืด)

[@annn4143]

Hello are u using the tomyam paste as the chili paste ? Hope u can answer me 🙏🏻

[@cookthaiwithmumu5836]

Hi Angie, it's a complicated answer. Strictly speaking, the chili paste I used is the same thing that is used for Tom Yum. In Thai, it is called Nam Prik Pao (น้ำพริกเผา). However, because Tom Yum is so famous, there are a lot of pre-flavoured "Tom Yum Paste" that will combine the chili paste, herbs (galangal, lemongrass, and kaffir lime leaves), and sourness (to replace lime). If your paste has sourness in it and/or has sharp aroma that resembles lemongrass, I will say it's actually the Tom Yum Paste and it is different. If you use that it will change the flavour of the dish considerably. The real chili paste should not be sour, nor has lemongrass aroma to it. Hope it helps!

[@blaquehippie]

Ooouuu!! Try saving the crab infused water to make the sauce next time!! 👅🦀

[@cookthaiwithmumu5836]

Thanks for the tip! and hope you will enjoy the recipe too

[@sdonna3882]

We dont have evaporated milk in Sweden do u think I could use unsweetened condensed milk and mix it with some water?

[@cookthaiwithmumu5836]

I am not expert on this but I believe they're the same thing! Sweetened condensed milk is basically just evaporated milk. If yours is unsweetened then it should be just evaporated milk (just different name). To confirm, it is richer than milk and not sweet (or only slightly sweet just like normal milk)? If so, I believe it is.

[@sdonna3882]

@@cookthaiwithmumu5836 unfortunately it’s not the same thing there are recipes like tres leches that have both evaporated and condensed milk but I just looked it up and the only difference is that condensed milk is more condensed for a longer time therefor the thicker texture but I’ll just try to mix in some water in it to imitate the runny texture u have and it should be the same🤷🏻‍♀️ thanks for the recipe looks dangerously delicious 😍

[@NeenasThaiKitchen]

Those are huge crab claws!

[@cookthaiwithmumu5836]

It is a big crab!

[@rebeccafoo]

Thanks for sharing but I will fry them my way, stir fry the curry powder with chili paste to give it aroma and simmer them with the water for 10 mins so that the raw curry smell will disappear and aroma will formed. Then add in the raw crab and fry well, add in extra water as it may be dried up while simmer for 10 mins Season to taste and may be some starch powder water, then the beaten egg to thicken the sauce with the green onion and celery and chili.

[@cookthaiwithmumu5836]

Thanks for the suggestion! It sounds good. I'm always open for new ways of doing things. Will try when I have a chance for sure.

[@rebeccafoo]

@@cookthaiwithmumu5836 Thanks for so open up to accept suggestion. Happy Cooking !

[@tahzeeba]

This used to be my favourite. Now I have allergy. Can you suggest what else can I make patpong curry with other than shellfish?

[@cookthaiwithmumu5836]

I have seen this dish with chicken being most common beside crab, shrimp, or squid (think squid is considered a shellfish?). I think it's really up to you to be honest, as long as the meat isn't too strong flavoured, like beef or lamb. e.g. pork also works.

[@tahzeeba]

@@cookthaiwithmumu5836 thank you so much for replying. I would surely try this with chicken. Being in Thailand and not eating anymore seafood has been hardest 😂😂

[@doristehguathong7007]

What brand of curry powder,sir? Thank you

[@cookthaiwithmumu5836]

I use a Thai brand called "Waugh's" but I've also tried using curry powder I randomly picked from a Western supermarket (Tesco in London) and it worked fine. So I'd say most curry powder should work!

[@blaquehippie]

The light would be better in front of you than on the side.

[@cookthaiwithmumu5836]

Thank you. Trying to improve my set up! I have a tiny flat in Hong Kong and so there are quite a bit of restrictions.

[@sylviatomasu4132]

Can you put the all the ingredients in the comment?

[@cookthaiwithmumu5836]

Just did! I pinned it too. Enjoy!

[@sylviatomasu4132]

@@cookthaiwithmumu5836 thank you very much. I will make it next week!!! Merry Christmas!!!

[@mykalhenry]

Does this compete with Somboon Seafood? (almost impossible)

[@cookthaiwithmumu5836]

Haha, I really wish it could! I think Somboon's is a bit "fluffier" in texture, which I think could be done by stirring more vigorously to create more air pockets and (a lot) more oil to help it forms and not dry out. Having said that I haven't tried though as I don't like too much oil. Still think this is not bad, maybe you could try it out and let me know what you think too!

[@mykalhenry]

@@cookthaiwithmumu5836 Half my reasons for trips to Thailand are for the Curry Crab at Somboon. The full recipe is very closely guarded it seems. Any attempts at a copy would just be a disappointment.
