Check out the latest recommended times in our Cooking Guidelines.

Before you start

  • Bring a medium saucepan filled with salted water to a boil
  • Pull out a large frying pan, a measuring jug, a sieve & a small bowl

Prep time

  • Dice the onion and pepper into 2cm chunks. Slice the baby corn into thirds
  • Cut the spring onion whites into 2cm pieces, then thinly slice the spring onion greens. Halve the lime

Cook the noodles & soften the veg

  • Add the noodles to the saucepan, gently separate with a fork and boil for 6-7 mins, until cooked. Drain, then rinse under cold water
  • Meanwhile, heat the large frying pan with 1 tbsp oil on medium-high heat. Once hot, add the onion, pepper, baby corn and spring onion whites. Cook for 4-5 mins, until softened. Season with salt and pepper

Make the sauce & dress the crab

  • In the measuring jug, combine 75ml water (40ml for 1 person) with the ginger & garlic paste, tamari, honey, half the chilli paste and the juice from half the lime. Set aside
  • To the small bowl, add the crab, remaining chilli paste and 1 tbsp oil. Mix together, then season to taste with salt and pepper

Bring it all together

  • Add the sauce to the veg pan and bring to the boil. Add the cooked noodles, toss to coat in the sauce and simmer for 1-2 mina, until hot

Plate up

  • Share the noodles between bowls, topped with the crab
  • Garnish with the spring onion greens and remaining lime, cut into wedges, for squeezing over the crab
