Step 1
Clean the 2 whole crabs, remove the top shell and gills, and cut each into quarters. Pat dry with paper towels.
Step 2
Heat the 2 tbsp vegetable oil in a large skillet over medium-high heat. Add the 4 minced garlic cloves and 1 inch grated ginger, stir-fry until fragrant, about 30 seconds.
Step 3
Add the crab pieces in a single layer, cut-side down. Cook without stirring for 3-4 minutes until the shells turn bright red.
Step 4
Pour in the 3 tbsp soy sauce and 1/4 cup water. Cover and simmer until the crab is cooked through and the sauce thickens slightly, about 5-6 minutes.
Step 5
Stir to coat the crab in the sauce, then serve hot with the sauce spooned over.
