motion and crack them with a nut cracker or hammer, without removing the shells

firmly pull the bodies away from the shells (with the legs still attached). 3. Remove and discard the grey stomach sac and gills
but retain the reddish roe, then cut the body part into 4 pieces. 4. In a small bowl, mix together the tamarind, sugar,
soy sauce and fish sauce. Set a side. 5. Heat the oil in a large frying pan or wok then add
the garlic, crab pieces and crab's roe and stir fry for a 5 minutes. 6. Add the tamarind sauce mixture and cook for 3-4
minutes, mixing well. 7. Add the spring onion and black pepper and stir fry
for a further 3-4 minutes. Serve immediately.
