2. Remove hard top shell, stomach bag and fibrous tissue and with cleaver chop each crab into 4 pieces.
3. Heat a wok, add oil and when oil is very hot fry the crab pieces until they change color, turning them so they cook on all side.

6. Add the sauces, sugar, soy sauce and salt, bring to the boil, then return crabs to the wok and allow to simmer in the sauce for 3 min., adding very little water if sauce reduces too much.
