Step 1
Bring 4 cups water to a boil in a pot over high heat, ~5 minutes.
Step 2
Stir in fish sauce, tamarind paste, and sugar until dissolved, about 1 minute.
Step 3
Add crab meat gently, stirring to break up any clumps. Simmer 2 minutes.
Step 4
Remove from heat and fold in mango cubes—they should stay soft and bright.
