To braise, split the bodies, sear cut-side down in hot oil with ginger, garlic and spring onion, then add a splash of stock and cover for a few minutes. Pull it off the heat as soon as the meat turns opaque; extra time is what dries crab out.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAllergen\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eContains crustacean shellfish.
