How to make it
Joint the crab: lift the shell, cut the body into four and crack the claws with the back of a knife.
Pound the garlic, ginger and chillies to a paste and fry it in oil for three minutes, until fragrant.
Add the sambal, ketchup, sugar and vinegar and cook two minutes, until the sauce darkens.
Pour in the stock, bring it up and add the crab pieces. Cover and cook eight minutes.
Slake the cornflour in cold water and stir it in to thicken the sauce.
Turn off the heat and pour in the beaten eggs in a thin stream, stirring once in a circle.
Scatter with coriander and serve with the fried mantou.
