Method
- Spread the crab meat on a tray and inspect it twice for shell fragments. Keep the flakes as intact as possible.
- Heat one tablespoon oil and cook onion, garlic, tomato, and bell pepper until softened and nearly dry. Add crab meat and aligue and heat through; cool slightly.
- Beat eggs with milk, fish sauce, pepper, and spring onions, then fold in the crab mixture gently.
- Heat the remaining oil in a well-seasoned skillet over medium-low heat. Pour in the mixture and spread evenly.
- Cook covered until the edges are set and the centre is only slightly wet, 5–7 minutes.
- Slide onto a plate and invert back into the pan, or finish under a broiler, until fully set but still moist.
- Rest 3 minutes and serve in wedges with calamansi and vinegar.
