Replicating Crustacean's Roasted Crab & Garlic Noodles

I have LOVED Crustacean's garlic crab and noodles ever since Omar took me there for the first time about 4 years ago. And now it's become our New Year's Eve ritual. I found this recipe at http://www.rasamalaysia.com/

ROASTED CRAB RECIPE

- 1 Dungeness Crab

- 1 stick unsalted butter/8 tbsps

- 3 to 4 cloves garlic (chopped coarsely)

- 2 tsp chicken bouillon powder

- 2 tsp black pepper (cracked using a mortar and pestle)

- 1/4 tsp sugar

Clean and chop the crab into small pieces. Heat up the butter in a wok and saute the garlic until aromatic, but not brown. Add in the black peppers, chicken bouillon powder, and then add in the crab and stir well. Add in the sugar and cook the crab until half done. Dish out and bake in the oven at 350 degrees F for 25-30 minutes. Service hot with garlic noodles (recipe below).

GARLIC NOODLES RECIPE

- 1 lb fresh noodles (a friend tried this with fresh pasta, and it worked well too)

- 4 tbsp olive oil

- 3 cloves garlic (pounded)

- 4 tbsp unsalted butter

- 2 tbsp garlic powder

- 2 1/2 tsp chicken bouillon powder

- 2 1/2 tsp oyster sauce

- 5 tsp grated parmesan cheese

Prepare the noodles, per it's instructions (depending on what type you get).

In a pan, saute the garlic with the olive oil in medium heat. The purpose is to infuse the olive oil with the garlicky flavor. Discard the garlic and then add in 4 tbsp of butter and turn the heat to low. Add in the chicken bouillon powder, garlic powder, oyster sauce and blend well. Set aside to let it cool. Once the garlic mixture is cool and the noodles are cool at room temperature, pour the garlic mixture over the noodles and toss them together to blend well. Add in the grated parmesan cheese, toss well, and serve immediately.
