Crab with Sotanghon in Black Bean Sauce is another experimental dish I would like to share. This is one good way to recycle left over crabs if you happen to have some. The recipe is fairly easy, no secret ingredients it is basically a noodle stir-fry cooking method. Bottled black bean sauce are available in most supermarket or Asian food store, it may be substituted by mashing drained and rinsed tausi or fermented black beans.
