Garlic Sauce

[Ro-Ro]

I went to a chinese buffet recently and they had blue crabs in a garlic sauce. I can't seem to find a recipe for this. Does anyone have one to share???

Thanks!

This sauce says it is for soft shelled blue crabs

1 T. peanut oil
4 cloves garlic, minced
1.5 T. grated fresh ginger
1 bunch scallions, white and light green parts only, chopped
1/2 c. dry white wine or rice wine
2 T. light or regular soy sauce
2 T. rice wine or dry sherry
1 t. sugar
1 t. white wine vinegar

Heat the oil in a large, heavy saucepan over medium heat. Add the garlic and ginger and saute till transparent, about 3 minutes. Do not allow mixture to burn. Stir in the scallions and saute 1 minute more. Add remaining ingredients and cook 1 minute longer. This sauce may be served hot or at room temperature.

Yield about 1 cup
