Step 2
Heat oil in a wok. When the oil reaches about 60% hot (roughly 180°C/350°F), add the crab pieces and fry until cooked through, then transfer them to a strainer to drain. Using the remaining oil in the wok, add the minced ginger, minced garlic, and chopped scallion, then pour in the sweet and sour sauce. Thicken with wet cornstarch, stir in a little extra oil and the sesame oil, mix until well combined, then pour the sauce over the fried crab pieces. Serve immediately on a plate scattered with chopped scallion.
