Stir Fried Dungeness Crab

To cook the crab humanely, put them in the freezer for an hour or two so they go to sleep.
Then steam crabs for 15 minutes by putting them in a hot steamer. You will want to steam them until almost done but not fully cooked.
Remove from steamer and let them cool.
Once done cooling, pull the shell off, remove the gills, and cut the crabs in half from top to bottom.
Then cut them in half again, so you have four crab pieces per crab.
In a wok, on medium high heat, add oil and once hot, add shallots, ginger, garlic, sliced jalapeños and stir fry for a couple of minutes.
Add sugar, fish sauce, mushroom powder, salt and pepper and mix together in the wok.
Add butter.
As soon as butter melts, add steamed crab pieces.
Mix sauce with the crab to coat it evenly for one minute.
Put lid over wok, reduce heat to medium, and let it steam for 5 minutes to finish cooking the crab.
Turn off the heat. Add rau ram and green onions, mix it in.
Transfer to a big bowl or plate and serve!
I like to dip the crabmeat in a lime dipping sauce consisting of fresh squeezed lime with salt and pepper. However, the crabmeat is so tasty, that this dipping sauce is not needed.
