Spicy Singapore Chili Crab Chinese Lunar New Year by BBQ Pitmaster Harry Soo. Click "SHOW MORE" for all the information links!!! 

I used to work as an 747 pilot for Singapore Airlines and one of my favorite street vendor dishes was Spicy Singapore Chili crab.  Stir-fried fresh crab is coated with a spicy sweet tomato-based sauce that has hints of Asian and Chinese flavors.  The authentic recipe can be very complicated with fresh pounded chilies and herbs.  Over the years, I've simplified the recipe using tomato ketchup as a base to speed up the sauce making process.  Enjoy this dish with some steamed rice and stir-fried vegetables.  It's a great dish for special occasions such as Chinese New Year celebrations.  I am often asked by my family to cook this so I'm posting this recipe for you to try and I've provided an easy way to make this signature dish. Chili crab has been rated by CNN as one of the top 50 most delicious foods in the world.  It's a must have if you're on a culinary adventure to Southeast Asia to places like Malaysia and Singapore.

Hi! I'm Harry Soo, a Grand Champion pitmaster from in Diamond Bar, near Los Angeles. Welcome to my vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes, as well as interviews and stories.
On weekdays, I'm an IT nerd living a Dilbertesque existence in a fabric covered cubicle in downtown LA. I'm the head tour guide for a team of IT project managers who build datacenters, networks, servers, and infrastructure that helps bring tap water to 300 cities and 20 million residents in SoCal.
On weekends, I come alive as a pitmaster, competitor, and BBQ instructor. You've seen me on BBQ Pitmasters, Food Network, Chopped Grill Masters, Smoked, Cutthroat Kitchen, and local TV in California. My shtick is I've used a humble 18-inch Weber Smokey Mountain smoker to win 100+ first places and 1st place USA in the Kansas City BBQ Society (KCBS) awards including best chicken, brisket, and sirloin; and I've won over 30 Grand Championships. I've personally taught 250+ classes and trained 4,000+ pitmasters in small hands-on dozen student classes in the US, Sydney, Perth, London, Kuala Lumpur, Ireland, Germany, Mexico, Canada, and Hawaii.
I get many questions weekly about how to grill and barbecue. Since I started cooking professionally in 2008, I've answered thousands via email, so I decided to post my answers via video to reach a wider audience. I'll do my best to post a video on my channel periodically. I upload vlogs, BBQ product reviews, travel & lifestyle videos, BBQ contests, classes, as well as interviews and stories.
