Here is one of my favorite:

Crab with Tamarinad Sauce

INGREDIENTS:
 
- 4 whole medium crabs or 2 large crabs
- Olive or vegetable oil for deep-frying
- 1 tablespoon tamarind pulp
- 1/2 cup rice wine
- 4 cloves garlic, chopped
- 2 tablespoons vegetable oil
- 1/4 cup chopped baby leeks or spring onions (white part only) about 1" long
- 3 tablespoons fish sauce
- 1 teaspoon crushed white pepper

INSTRUCTIONS:
 
1- Clean the crabs, take off the tops, rinse thoroughly, cut in half and break the claws. Heat peanut oil in wok until very hot, deep-fry crabs for 30 seconds, or until color changes. Set on paper towels to absorb excess oil.
2- Dissolve tamarind pulp in rice wine. In a large pan or wok, saute garlic in vegetable oil until soft, add crab and continue cooking for 2-3 minutes on a high heat. Add tamarind mixture, fish sauce and pepper. Reduce for another 2 minutes, then add baby leeks. Remove from heat. Place crabs on a plater and pour tamarind sauce over. Serve with steamed rice.
3- Hints: Although this dish is traditionally prepared in a wok, the use of a deep-fryer might make the cooking easier. You can also substitute freshly ground black pepper for white pepper.
