How to prepare Ba khía mixed with sour star fruit
-
Prepare ba khía
Take ba khía out of the jar of salted ba khía and put it into a basin. Pour in a little boiling water and briefly blanch, stirring the ba khía to help reduce the saltiness and clean them.
Then, remove the ba khía and let it drain in a colander.
Separate the shell of the ba khía, break the joints of the legs, and tear the body of the ba khía into small pieces, then place the legs and the flesh of the ba khía into a small basin.

Mix ba khía
Pound 1/2 bulb of garlic and 3 chili peppers.
Add 5 tablespoons of sugar into the bowl of shredded ba khía, using chopsticks to mix well. Then, add the pounded garlic and chili mixture and mix thoroughly so that the garlic and chili infuse into the ba khía meat.
Tip: You can add or reduce the amount of sugar according to your family’s taste! -
Prepare and mix starfruit with Ba Khía
Sour starfruit is rinsed with diluted saltwater and then washed again with clean water, and drained. You cut off both ends, peel the strings, and slice it thinly for eating.
Finally, you put the sliced starfruit into the bowl containing Ba Khía and mix well one more time to finish.
Tip: You can enjoy the dish right away or, if you have time, let the Ba Khía mixed with starfruit sit overnight in the refrigerator before tasting; the seasoning will soak into the Ba Khía, making the dish more flavorful! -
